I am amazed at my inexpensive saddle. Charge Spoon saddle, $30'ish on ebay. I had read about this saddle on a forum and thought it was total BS couple years back. But after trying a few new saddles, figured it couldn't hurt for this price. First one was $24 last year, now have 3, one on each bike.
I used Terry Fly saddles for years. Did 23 centuries back in 2005. Felt great but after paying $60, $70, Then $75, the big jump up to $175 was like a kick in the teeth and I am not willing to pay it. So I tried a few that worked but just OK, never felt really good.
So I tried the Charge Spoon and to my surprise, the first time I sat on it, thought it felt like the Terry. A wee bit stiff at the start but after some saddle time, it only got better. Doing several 60-70 milers, feeling really good on it!
So 3 saddles for 3 bikes, about $100.
So those people in that debate that I thought were dopey, sorry about that!
