same shape but different model( I recon mine is a lot ligter!!!)
The problem is the V-shape in the rear of the saddle. My riding shorts have got tangled in it! Not a nice thing to get stuck on the left- or rightside of your bike whilst trying to tacle a rockgarden...
I had a larger friend (200 lbs or so) who busted an I-beam seat in a DH race, it broke where it was clamped and fell off. I guess a big post sticking up is better than two ti rails.pyynö;2710213 said:And also I was thinking, evetually as all saddles do break, I-beams tend to break in a "milder" manner? ,seen only a couple. Compared to two hard metal rods capable of

Ok. "done for the day" situation anyway.I guess a big post sticking up is better than two ti rails.
I have that saddle. Its a little on the heavier side, but its cheap and pretty comfortable. I got the camo color thoughwhat about the Funn Skinny RL ?

Yup...I had a larger friend (200 lbs or so) who busted an I-beam seat in a DH race, it broke where it was clamped and fell off. I guess a big post sticking up is better than two ti rails.
