Riv has Aardvark saddle covers, they work and are less $ than another
saddle.

Covering it with a plastic bag would help too.

The normal Cambium doesn't seem to have any problem with rain either. The
one on my touring bike has been ridden multiple times in day-long rain, and
hasn't suffered.

The all-weather Cambium will last forever. It's basically a plastic saddle.
You can wipe off water with your hand and keep your bum dry. It's
wonderful. You'll never have to replace it.

I want to start riding my bike to the beach, swim, ride home. It’s like a 10
mile round trip. I don’t want to bring/change clothes. My guess is the all
weather cambium would fit the bill, but would I be better off with a cheapo
throwaway that I can replace after the warm season?

I too have found the WTB saddles quite comfortable. The Pure is about 148mm
across the back (from memory), and like Brooks has a flat back and a fore-aft
dip. The make four different Pure saddles starting at about $40.

Slick Saddle Cover. Slides a little, so it wears out instead of pants.
Don't need to go fancy. Even a shower cap works. I'm not sure the stretchy
vinyl kind of saddle covers are still around, which are good, but I have a
Carradice that works. But you know why bike shorts are black.

Hi all-
Looking for some advice. I have a Brooks Cambium on my SimpleOne commuter. I
love the saddle, but it's destroyed two pairs of nice jeans in very short order
(and every leather Brooks I've had has bled dye pretty badly). I'd love to
solve it with a dedicated pair of riding pants, but thi

Just to be contrary, I use a Terry Liberator Y Gel and it's the favorite
saddle I've ever had.

That means I will have an almost new Honey B17 Imperial for sale in a

Stay tuned.

Philip,
Thank you. Actually have dropped between 130--140 pounds from peak (was
370). Pretty sure I purchased the first B-17 while still in the 350
range. Figured it should be able to hold my weight. However, have a touch
of doubt to when it was first purchased, so erred on the side of caution
I'm impressed, Eric, that you dropped 80+ pounds (dang), and I appreciate
your using "at present" instead of "presently." I work with a very kind
English major who misuses "presently" every time he can.
I'm at 241, and I was 250 for the last couple years. No issues at all with
my 9 year old Br
Yes, Anne's right. I've experimented with tilting the saddle downward on
other bikes, and whenever I did that I ended up sliding forward. I'll try a
really small adjustment to see if that helps, but I'm reluctant to tilt it
down too far.
I'll consider a saddle with a cutout after I've monkeyed
I don't think there would be an issue with a B17 as far as weight.
I do, however, think you may end up considering a saddle with a
cutout. If a B17 or a B67 is causing pressure where you don't want any
pressure, you'll try tilting the nose down, but tilting the nose down
enough to get the front of
When I was using a B-17 my weight was over 300 (at the start) down to the
220 range. Never had a problem with the rails. Not using them at present,
but it is unrelated to my weight.

Hi all,
I have a Brooks B67 S saddle on my Betty Foy, but I'm finding that the
saddle isn't as comfortable as it used to be when I was riding completely
upright on my Dutch bike. I'm leaning a bit more forward on the Betty Foy,
and that's putting some uncomfortable pressure on sensitive parts.
Both the Avocet and Selle San Marco are on their way to new homes. Thanks to
everyone for your interest.

This is an older version made of chrome plated carbon steel, easier to cut,

Howdy. This is a bit embarassing and here goes anyway. I cycle commute
to work each day on my Bleriot with a Brooks B-17. The saddle was
reasonably comfortable and I thought it would break in and do the job.
