My current saddle (Romin Evo Pro) is killing me, especially on longer rides. I've tried all orientations and sizes and I think it comes down to not being able to tolerate the split tail design. I had similar sit bone pain with a Selle Italia SLK, but the Romin also introduced nerve pain on a particularly bad outing.
I'm interested in trying an Arione or Antares, but I've read so many reviews from people cracking their shells. I've also read that Fizik's warranty service is excellent, but still... Is this a problem that's common for Fizik saddles or perhaps just certain models?
