Recommend a good gel seat

[steveindenmark]

I will be getting Jannie a new road bike for her birthday.

I would like some suggestions for a very good long distance gel seat please.

I have the mens version of this on my bikes, recommended:

Specialized Bicycle Components : Expedition Plus Saddle

If you want something quick and locally available then I have had success with these

Halfords | BikeHut Comfort Ergo Mens Bike Saddle

Its not gel and I don't usually recommend Halfords.

However I have now moved over to the Brooks club and am beating my current B17 into submission

PS Ok that's embarrassing I re-read the post to see that you require a woman's saddle

Regards

Nice one Jerry. You must not have seen my member name :Ø)

I use a Brookes flyer and am very pleased with it but they do take a long time to get right.

while shopping in town [amsterdam] i saw a bike saddle cover from Tempura the mattrese people,
just to let you know.

I have found the Velo Plush to be comfortable

I have an Allay Nomad on my Kalkhoff and have found it to be really comfortable.
They do womens versions too!

I dont know much about seats except I need a more comfortable one...But gel seats I thought were not rated that highly for comfort etc...??

 

[NRG]

Oh I dunno, compared to my experience with a Brooks they are very comfortable!

 

[steveindenmark]

If anyone wants to give a Brooks away to an appreciative loving home drop me a line :Ø)

Surely you're not suggesting that the Tonwotsit has anything less than the best saddle in the world?

I prefer gel these days, unwilling to suffer the running in period of a hard leather saddle.

I prefer gel these days

All my bikes have pretty decent, modern saddles but if I had to choose one, it would be the original equipment item fitted to my Gazelle. It's a Selle model and I think my leg muscles would cause me pain long before my nether region began to hurt if I travelled over 50+ miles.

This is the best gel saddle I've ever owned - Specialized Sonoma. I can do 80 miles on it and it still feels comfortable.
