Hi,
Almost finished up my Rockhopper so I decided to take it for a gravel ride but I have to conclude that my saddle just won't cut it. I'd like to think that sitting down on the saddle should be a comfortable experience, but it's outright painful, especially when I pedal. I am using an older Selle Italia, pretty narrow one and it honestly makes me feel as if I've been battered up the backside. :evil:
Do you guys have any recommendations for a durable and comfy saddle for a heavy rider? I've been thinking about the Brooks B17 as I like the look of it, but it's a wee bit on the expensive side. I mostly do xc/gravel stuff.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
