Specialized unveils aggressive position Power road saddle

[BdaGhisallo]

I started out with it level, ie with a bubble level placed along the saddle from nose to rear tip. From there I took an allen key with me when I rode and made adjustments until I got it where it felt good. There is no hard and fast rule of thumb that you can use. You have to start somewhere and tweak it to suit your unique anatomy.

Don't have an easy tilt adjust. Annoyingly. Tend to set at home base.

I've found and been told by many a fitter that the optimal starting point is either the same marking on the rail as your other Speci saddle +5mm further rearwards OR add 25-35mm of setback measured behind the bb

That's what I figured, I couldn't get it far back enough. As soon as I switched it for a Romin Evo I could feel a lot more behind the pedals (for the same number on the rails).

Best saddle I've ever used , 145 width, and confirmed last night at my fitting that it's perfect for me.

You never want to feel "behind the pedals"

[jeffy]

when you say "+5mm further rearwards" do you mean rearwards according to rail marking (so actually moving the saddle 5mm forwards)?

[wheelzqc]

I think that's what he meant. I've been playing with the angle of the Power (-1 nose down so far) and it feels more solid. I was on a 155 Romin Evo which was fine, but I don't think I can translate that to the Power, it feels large. The saddle hits me behind the leg when I want to sit back. Looking at it at the store, I might be wrong, but it seems larger (or less down curve) then the Romin Evo. I'm thinking of giving the 143 a go.

Its weird that only 2 pros are on this from what I can tell- Boom and Keisse. Everyone else is still on the team only romins. I wonder why?

Marcel Sieberg has been using it this season. He has to debadge it since his Lotto team are sponsored by San Marco. Paolo Tiralongo on Astana is also using it.

This saddle is certainly not for everyone. I bought one the first day it arrived at my specialized shop, rode it for like 200 miles and sold it.

I knew it was a gamble since I ride a 130 Romin. I also tried a 143 Romin to no avail, to wide and it puts pressure on my inner thigh.

Specialized has a 30 day comfort guarantee so why didn't you just return it?

Best saddle ever! Coming from Arione

I am quite enjoying my Power 155 saddle too, after having been on the Romin 155 for a few years.

[jeffy]
