Saddle Recommendations
Moderator: robbosmans
@superdx if you could measure the rail to saddle height that would be really helpful! - how does the Antares ride? All this saddle business is actually kind of confusing!

I've swapped both bikes to this saddle and will probably put a 3rd on my tt rig.

@mattsouth yeah that's the two things I've been thinking. I have the Power at the same spot on the rails (4.5) where I had the previous Romin and if I rrmove 3cm from the setback its a bit further back. Another thing, it's a 155 and romin was 143(and previous saddle 134). I might be just better seated.
#2 combined with proper width would be the ideal reason.

@superdx, maybe if you could - just take a quick measurement of bottom of rail to top of saddle (top of saddle being just like when you take Center of be to top of saddle measurement)

I have used fizik arione, and then changed to Spec Romin pro which with 160g weight. After switching, for the same pedal posation, my seat tube must rise for at lease 1CM.
And currently I have alternate romin pro into latest sworks Toupe. The latest SW toupe with 153g and with Level2 padding compared to other 160g-round level1 padding.
So I feel SW toupe is softer then Romin pro. Which means, comfy a little bit. Just like, using SW toupe without cycling bibs could achieve similar feel like Romin pro with cycling bibs.

I ride the Specialized Romin pro. Great weight/comfort in my opinion
