Way to go Burnie!
I'm a big hairy legged MTB'er but I ride road as well and love all of it. My family and I have been stacking on quite a few miles the last few months and as you know those miles will show any weakness in your set up. I now have my first Ti bike and have completed my first ever metric century with my 13 y/o son (he's getting fast!). After that ride, a revision of my wife's saddle was mandatory and much sought after for my son and I as well! I've tried quite a few saddles and untill this latest one, the Selle Italia Flight Gels had been the best. But on this ride our dangly bits told us that 30k on a MTB is quite different from 100k on a road bike. Much more saddle contact for a much longer time! So in defferance to our nether regions I switched my wife's saddle out for a Selle SMP Strike. http://www.sellesmp.com/en/default.htm I picked up a low line model off of ebay just to try it out and no kidding they work! http://cgi.ebay.com/SELLE-SMP-TRK-sa...QQcmdZViewItem Now I have them on all of our road bikes and will be experimenting with the MTBs as well. One of my various jobs is performing firearms instructor duties for our Police Bicycle Training Program and I'm trying to get our guys to try these puppies out as well.
Cograts again man, Steve
