seats?

[klowie]

Anyone suggest a good seat. I have never been happy with the Specialized seat that came on my bike, and now after a year and a half it is downright painful. I want something relatively light, comfortable, and cheap.

It's always been WTB for me.

WTB : Saddles : Multi

Second the WTB saddles, almost all have worked great for me. My favorite is the Stealth. But I sometimes buy the ones that are in the mark down bin as they may not hold up as long, they are usually dirt cheap.

I'll third WTB. Been running a Laser V Team for some time now, and love it. Exceptionally comfy for its very light weight, it performs equally well on extended climbs and long descents.

4th for WTB

Rocket V SLT (what they used to call stealth)

Jax in Fullerton will let you return a seat if you don't like it w/in 90days provided there is no damage....this way you can test ride the seat...

5th for WTB. I run the Pure V SLT and Laser V SLT, both are great

SDG for the best in outdoor riding

I have ran the WTB Stealth V for 3 years now and have loved it! It's about time to replace it though since it's starting to break down and loose the love channel effect and creating numbness on long rides. GREAT SEATS!!!

haha, this is a funny thread. The first thing i would have said is not WTB. I hate them. Some of you may laugh, but they have too much padding for me. I prefer something with an appropriate shape and a good pair of shorts. My only recomendation so far is Tioga Spyder, but only as an XC saddle.

B-rad, you're definitely going to be in the minority here. I like WTB, also and it seems like 75% of all mtbers I see out there have a WTB saddle on their bike. So... make of that what you will.

[FyrFytrRyn]

i have a wtb aswell, but ive ridden a bike with less padding and liked it more. im actually looking for a new one, maybe a thinner WTB or alike.

The Bonte XXX Carbon is right up your alley:

asses are clearly a matter of preference

I agree that a comfy seat gives you support for your sit bones....

but that seat looks like an asshammer

[SAR_boats]

That makes my butt bone hurt just looking at it!

[Winger]

It also whistles La Cucaracha when you ride fast.

No it doesn't! It does make that blowing across the mouth of a bottle noise though. Just Kidding

Hey I was in the Navy

Why is everybody staring?

Me too. I have a Rocket V Stealth that is a torture device.
I love the Selle Italia Flite Gel Ti seat.

So would you say it was a Weapon of Ass Destruction?
