Extreme Veteran  801   Ballston Spa, NY |  Subject: What's your saddle choice Mr. Clyde..Thinking about changing/upgrading my saddle. It's currently a "Prologo Scratch Pro" but is not that comfortable after a little while. Looking for something that will fit me a wee bit better. Most of my weight is because of my height so I'm not horribly over weight or anything. 6'6" 240 |

I have found the Cobb seats are nice but pricey and so are the Profile Design with the airflow pockets, sorry I can't think of the name. I'm been leaning towards te Cobb from what I've read but the price is a little more that what I'm willing to spend. |

Expert 1149 CenTex | Subject: RE: What's your saddle choice Mr. Clyde.. While it's true that good saddles can be $$$, I'm in the camp that it's worth it to keep the boys comfortable and, therefore, happy. I've been on profile saddles and switched last year to an Adamo Road. Best bike-related decision I've made thus far. It did change my position on the bike and required that I get re-fit but can't imaging going back. |

Do you know if there are different adamo seats? I haven't researched it so this is a nongoogled question. In my LBS they are $220. But I'm seeing them on eBay for $120...seems to drastic of a price difference to be the same model. |

| Delaware, OH | Subject: RE: What's your saddle choice Mr. Clyde.. My advise? Ask at your LBS if they have a saddle policy. Nothing like a test drive. I'm pretty much no help because I ride my stock fugi road bike saddle on my cervelo TT. It is the most comfortable thing for me and still allows me to help Mr. Cyclist test his family jewels after a ride. |

Expert 1557 Austin, TX | Subject: RE: What's your saddle choice Mr. Clyde.. Adamo Road on both road and tri bike. Paid full price for my first one at a local shop so I could test it out, then found the 2nd one on here for $80. It seems the prices have gone up on the MSRP price as I bought my first one 4 yrs ago for $120 and the website now has it for $170. |

Veteran 487 | Subject: RE: What's your saddle choice Mr. Clyde.. I use a Pacific saddle, can't remember where I got it from but it's by far the most comfortable thing I've sat on. Even though its thin and not much for padding I like it. When I attempt use the saddles on the bikes at the gym I feel like I'm doing the splits! Just to wide even for me. |
