Bought a comfort saddle, best thing ever.

I've kept the OE saddles on all my bikes... Fizek Aliante on the roadie, a Giant own brand on the trance. The Mongoose came with a WTB and i liked that too. Have a Charge Spoon on the Orange that id bought on wiggle once years ago on a whim as it was silly cheap - also good! I guess I just have an accommodating arse...

I've had all sorts of arse measuring fits done. I've used saddles from WTB, Ergon, Fabric, Fizik, Ritchie, SDG, SQ Lab and Selle Italia and a heap of others in my quest to find a suitable perch for my fussy butt. In the end I've gone back to the WTB Volt (Wide) and at last my bum is smiling.

I think too as you age, your saddle requirements will change. In my younger day there was nothing better than a Fizik Gobi XM... which today at 57 years old would terrify me of riding for more than 10 minutes.

Didnt pay $250 for this custom title
I got measured for my roadie and as long as the saddles are wide enough for my arse I seem to do OK.
A Spesh Power Arc for my roadie, Phenom for the eeb (although maybe another Power Arc there too) and a WTB Volt on the Honzo seem to do quite nicely.

The stock Fizik on my roadie was waaay too narrow - the 155mm Phenom sorted that initially - and the Trek thing on the Fuel EXe was a torture device!

I'm on a WTB Volt wide also.

Bike came with a volt but the narrow version. It was OK, but not great. The wide is excellent (for me), I figure if I'm not thinking about my seat or arse when out riding then it must be a good seat.

Now there is a task I'm sure everyone at the bike shop loves doing!

I spose everyone is different. A road riding mate has a carbon fibre saddle that cost a fortune and has a Kleenex tissue for padding yet he goes for 5 hour rides on it.

My motorcycle had a big, plush seat but after 30m it started growing teeth so I bought a hard aftermarket seat, it's night and day better.

Yep, right fit and no padding here too. Also old and soft these days but it's the one thing I move to new bikes and is never for sale

Only stopped using them after destroying many pairs of Knicks on the nose.

That carbon nose could impale a bloke :oops:

I don't even wear knicks anymore, got my saddles to a good place after many years of battle and $$$, seemless Marino jocks and normal shorts for every ride, even repeat 8hr days on the Mawson last year.

I might consider pulling them out of retirement for another Simpson, or at least take them with me JIC.
