    So just noticed my saddle is broken, been finding it tough on rides over an hour lately, assumed it was just because i'm on the turbo. No its got a big crack and whole lotta give.

    I'm wondering is there different types of saddle fits with regards seatpost? Or are seatposts & saddles all interchagable?

    Also anyone got a good recommendation re saddles?

    Yes, with a few exceptions.

    That's a bit like being asked to recommend a pair of shoes!

    Some bike shops have saddles which you can trial for a while.

    Cheers guys...

    Just wondering if Fizik are all they crack up to be.

    Looking at the Arione VS. I tend to prefer a narrower saddle(been told its because of my lower back flexibility)

    My previous saddle was stupid narrow and loved it, really should have taken off my old bike before selling it, or at least written the name down(over 5 years ago tho)

    What make is your broken saddle?

    Fizik replaced one for me about five years after I had bought it. I had no receipt but sent them photos of the damage and of the manufacturing date stamp. Excellent service and I'm still very happy with the replacement.

    I don't know the make, the saddle is at least 7 years old. Very faded. Only lettering I can make out is flex. Was on the bike when I bought it second hand.
