Re: Specialized Mirror 3D-printed saddles

Did anyone in this thread ever ride a narrow saddle meaning 130mm to 139mm and then go this Power saddle at 143mm and have no issues? I am looking at this Power and the Fizik but the Fizik 00 seems to have an advantage of narrowness for smaller riders unless I am missing something... For the past 6...

Re: Specialized Mirror 3D-printed saddles

I bought one from competitive cyclist. They have it in stock https://www.competitivecyclist.com/spec ... ror-saddle

The reviews are accurate, I never have to change or adjust position because of saddle pain/numbness. However, the 143 mm came in at 204 gr.

Re: Specialized Mirror 3D-printed saddles

If anyone is interested in buying, they have them in stock on the site below. I checked with their customer service this morning 5.16.2021. I was going to get one myself but they do not accept returns on saddles because of covid. https://www.contebikes.com/product/specialized-s-works-power-with-mirr...

In 2019 Ollie was all ga-ga over a 4.28kg model.
Lots of GCN's currently featured "superlight" bikes are still over 6kg.
I don't think they read these forums.
The guy who owns that bike sold the exact wheels in the video on this forum.

I hope you understand that everrything they do is an ad for bike brands. It has nothing to do with any actual science.

Re: Ciamillo steps up again with a new brake coming.

The purple was a custom color that after the initial anodization was too dark and went back to get redone. So from time of order to when they were shipped was six weeks. Thats including the time to get the annodization done twice. Since yours are black you shouldn't see that long of a wait. A quick...

Re: Table/spreadsheet of bike component weights?

I google the bike part that I want and the word "weight", then go to "Images" and look for pictures where the item I'm looking for is weighed on a scale. This is especially useful if you want the weight of older models. I have a 2015 Sworks and this is how I found the weights of older Sworks cranks ...
