Does any one have any riding experience on full carbon saddles? I am talking about the Selle Italia C-64 or the Selle San Marco Apside Composite. Or the new selle san marco magnesium sadlle. Just curious if they are comfortable at all?
No personal experience, except to know that it doesn't mean much if someone else likes or doesn't like the saddle. You have to try a saddle to know if YOU will like it.jnims29 said:Does any one have any riding experience on full carbon saddles?

If some anonymous RBR poster replys saying, "This saddle is the only one that fits me perfectly", how does that help the poster? Unless fate would have it that the poster and the responder are clones, they have unique comfort demands.Kerry Irons said:No personal experience, except to know that it doesn't mean much if someone else likes or doesn't like the saddle.

Define "comfortable". I rode a C64 a few times to test. I would describe the ride as "firm". NOT painful, firm. IMO it felt the same comfort-wise as my SLR XP and regular SLR. Also, the thin carbon shell flexes quite a bit which contributes to its' relative comfort. If you're going the weight weenie route then it makes sense to me to get the full carbon saddle instead of one of the minimalist race saddles since they're going to feel very similar.jnims29 said:Does any one have any riding experience on full carbon saddles?

Chances are if you are riding a non-carbon version of a saddle and are comfortable on it then the carbon version will probably be comfortable. I've been on a C-64 for about 8 month and find to to be much more comfortable over the standard SLR or the Carbonio. I liked it well enough to purchase a second one,jnims29 said:Does any one have any riding experience on full carbon saddles?

Yeah, sure. Are we to trust the word of a guy that admittedly rides around on his Harley whilst wearing a tube top and sporting lycra hot pants that, in his own words, "show every follicle and vein" on his twig and berries?Juanmoretime said:Chances are if you are riding a non-carbon version of a saddle and are comfortable on it then the carbon version will probably be comfortable.
