I smashed my seat on the DH bike the other day, what would a nice strong, light seat be these days?

Bear in mind I am doing jumps and drops and not really sitting on the seat, I am 14.5 stone, but the bike is perhaps 40lbs.

The seat rails broke when the bike and I did a rolly polly after I came up short on a gap, so any resistance to both our weights in a crash situation would be good.

Is the cromo railed charge spoon (about the only seat I know of by name)hard wearing? I am proper out of the loop and haven't bought anything new in years, in fact I hadn't ridden a mtb in years either (normally a roadie or a bmxer).

By the way riding is ace at the mo. get out there and enjoy it if you are not!
 
Dyna Ti has a nice dmr jump style seat for sale...

Am not ready to buy just yet and don't want to waste his time.

Maybe if he still has it in a week or so.

Would rather buy new if possible too.
 
I have a Selle SLR T1 on my DHi

Kevlar on all the inportant bits. Big massive padded nose to stop it vanishing past a pair of togs :shock: but does a great job for those misguided landings

Overkill for a tri saddle!

Most of the cool fast kids round here use various SDG (I think Sam Hill might use one?)
