Subject: Excellent new saddle design does away with nose problem

I noticed a thread on 'good wheels' devolved into arguments about brooks
and other saddles *YAWN* ah excuse me, anyway, and no one mentioned ISM
Adamo's.

For those that just woke up, Adamo's are probably the greatest development
in saddles technology within past few decade. Yeah, they haven't been
spec'd as standard by any of the standard boogeymen (Rivendale,etc), but
for anyone interested in a truely good new saddle design, (or those of you
that are possibly bored of engagin in tired anti-rivendale ranting), be
sure to check these out

gee i bought last years for $25 7 years ago then did the Goop covering
6 times. Maybe its getting a bit hard or I'm softer. the new one's
have that odd patch of gel sewn in. kinda bumpy. but the lines work
well, no pudendum contact for normal people, limited contact/limited
opportunity for skin abrasion and tears. really doesn't get hard here
and I am thin until I exceed my 50 miles into 7-80 miles. got a good
rail length or did. firm but not hard. rah rah rah!

the troll reports a fat man's saddle, is it not? a fat man's pudendum
saddle. next GP bikes for coach potatos...last discussed last year!

The two most important pieces of equipement involved in a bike ride, your

I Agree on Sidi, the only shoes witch won't change shape. My 93
Technos has exactly the same fit as when they where new, unfortunatly
its imposible to get new hardware for them in 07.
I had to get a new pair of shoes this year. After trying Shimano,
Nothwave, Diadora, Adidas, Nike and Spezialied i had to aknkolagde
that the only option where a pair of Sidi Energy 2 (+ carbon somthing i
don't really need). Unfortunatly they cost a fortune and never go
on sale. However if they will last almost 15 years as my previous
shoes its a bargain. This time i'll remember to get a cupple of spare
buckels in time.

Regarding the saddle i prefer Fizik's Aliante... as the Sidi's its
redicuasly expensive but the fit is second to none.

I'm amazed you can use the same shoes for cycling for 15 years
(assuming you're riding a few hours a week at least on average).

In any case, if the price of those new Sidis concern you, you should
consider a lower end model.

In my country (USA) there are often slightly older versions of Sidi
Geniuses on sale. Also in the UK. I think all or almost all Sidi
shoes fit the same (with special width Sidis being similarly
consistent across models).

I do - there where a few years when i didn't ride that much, but my
shoes have been used at least 4 days a week for 10 years. The soles
are not nice anymre and iv've changed the buckles ones, the thecho
straps twice and the iner sole onece. However the shoes themselves are
still in perfect condition and has the same fit and shape as in 93.

It's difficult to settele with velcro straps once used to Sidi's
Techno system.

true, however genius's on sale doesnt seem to be cheap either, however
cheaper than fullprice Techno/Ergo's.

Generally yes for Genius and up but the bottom of the line SiDis are
Romanian (not Italian) made and do fit differently.

----------
Don't be cheap with saddles and shoes, unfortunately a lot of newbies give
up on cycling, before they figure that out. I was joking about the Brooks,
I like mine, but I like my prolink saddles on my other bikes too. For
example, I have a Trek 1000, that I have toured with, and done commuting
with. When it was a commuter, I put a crappy saddle on it, and put some
tight fitting shoes (spd pedal), and after a while I started thinking this
bike isn't too good. Then one day, I put my prolink saddle on it, switched
to a look pedal, and wore my Sidi's, and it was like a whole new bike.
Fast, responsive, funny how changing those two things changed my whole
attitude about that bike.

To fix the upright bike's saddle problem, you really need to fix the
/bike/ ...by moving the pedals farther forward, so that the saddle
doesn't interfere with pedaling. Like with recumbents, or with the RANS
sport series bikes.

Not that any of these are UCI-legal, of course.
-But then, comfortable bikes would totally ruin pro racing. None of the
riders would have that gritty, intense look. They'd have goofy smiles as
if they were shooting a Mentos commercial or something. (in the defense
of idiocy, the French vow never to surrender)

Hmm... on second thought... I usually have to tie it to the seatpost.
With this seat I _could_ wrap it under the seat and fold it up like

Lol, "eliminates the nose" by adding another nose.

Seriously though, it looks too wide in the front = chafing.
