New bike seat/saddle

Hi EN Ladies,

I am in the market for a new seat for my bike and am hoping you have some suggestions for what to get/look for based on what you guys have.  The seat I have on my bike now is more of a touring road seat and I would like to change and get a triathlon or maybe racing specific seat.

Any suggestions would be really appreciated...I am still pretty new to all of this and to have a few in mind to check out would be much nicer than just picking the first seat I find.

Thanks in advance for the help!  (And sorry in advance if this isn't the spot where this should go in the forums!)

    Hi Carly-

    I am a HUGE fan of John Cobb's seats. I ride a Blackwell Flow (his design) and I believe several others are on his V-Flow. Pretty sure he has a 90 day $$ back guarantee if not happy. Good Luck!

    You'll find lots of love here for the John Cobb seats as well as the Adamo's.

    Riding a John Cobb Max Flow on TT bike and a Selle Lady Glider on the road bike.

    Saddles are very individual. You'll need to figure out:

    Do you want/need a cut out?

    How wide do you like the nose?

    Where do you tend to sit? I scooch to the front of the nose, so I need the full length cut out.

    If you search in the "General Discussion" thread, we had an entire discussion about saddles.

    Here's the link-

    Best of luck. It has taken me years to get it right. Hope you don't suffer like I did.

    Thank you all very much for the replies and suggestions.  I have never bought specific parts like this before, so it is helpful to have a starting point based on your experiences/suggestions.

    I didn't know there was already a forum on this topic and I will definitely search before posting next time.  Sorry for the duplicate thread. image

    Thanks again!

    Carly- Please don't apologize. Things are always going to be repeated and opinions will change. Saddles are a passionate topic for those of us that have suffered for years with a huge range of ailments "down there" all from poor saddle/ shorts. If we can prevent you from enduring the pain we have suffered...
