Default Need a new saddle ...

Anyone have any recomendations? I currently have an SDG Bel Air, which I managed to bend the rails on, so now I am looking for something new. The Bel Air feels good width wise but could use a touch more padding. I demo'd a bike with a WTB Devo on it and that felt ok but that was a little light on padding after about 15 miles. So what are you riding?

Check out the WTB Laser. Lots of chicks use it, though.

Justin runs uncomfortable saddles that look good on his bikes.. (Pure, Rocket..) I tried a Deva once and felt like I was sitting on a 2x4. Never tried a roadie saddle on my mountain bike, but lots of racers use them.

You can also check out the Speed saddle. The most comfy saddle I have was a $27 Speed She Comp I got at Performance around x-mas time a few years ago. It weighs a TON, though, so it's on my SS for comfort

I hate to spread this around (for selfish reasons), but The Path has a few take-off WTB saddles for good prices.

I like the Devo, it was also on a bike I tested, I had the WTB laser and currently using my stock Spec seat. I checked out a few seats form spec and they looked very well made, but man talk about pricey. I also noticed that it helps to have a good liner. I have an Oakley one and its soft and plush, and the boys love it.

Another vote for the Rocket V...with the Yeti letters, of course

Also had the old Intense saddle with the spider on it...I loved that one!!
