Wow that sucks...
Csrbon splinters in that region is just scary.
Was it riding through a pothole? Or nothing much when it let go?
Rma time.. Interested to see what they say.
Was considering this before going for a Berk Lupina

Not sure when it broke but I notice my bibs catching after I went through a patch of potholes. I do remember my bibs catching when I was on the trainer last week so I’m thinking there was a defect.
I bought it through BikeBug on eBay and emailed them yesterday. We’ll see what they say. I put my old saddle (Selle Italia SLR Flow Kit Carbonio) on from my Cervelo S5 for now - I can say the SP-01 was more comfortable. Not sure if I’ll go with a replacement SP-01 and try to get a refund.

Thats rubbish. Full carbon base or just carbon reinforced?

Im testing an SP01 with carbon rails (not full carbon) since 10 days; way too early to give an opinion as Im starting to get used to the shape these days.
One thing I can say is that sometimes my "family jewellery" get unconfortable with the cut shape edges in the middle when sitting down from standing up.

BikeBug just emailed me - they shipped out a replacement saddle. Hesitant on using this saddle as I don’t know if was a defective saddle to begin with or if it’ll happen again. I’ve just came back from a quick 20km ride today and no issues with my old SLR Kit Carbonio saddle - same road with the potholes so I’m leaning towards the SP-01 being defective.

I understand this saddle flex in the rear, but does it also flex in the middle (sag under pressure)?
I dislike saddles that flex in the base, i like a flat saddle that remains stiff.
SP-01 in boost version could be interesting if the base is stiff, part from the give in rear from pedalling.

I am wanting to try this saddle, but not sure if I should go with the Boost model and what width.
My sit bones measure about 115mm. The 130mm saddle seems really very narrow, so I am thinking of the non-Boost 142mm.
I figure the non-Boost is a bit narrower and also will give me space to move around.
Also is there any padding in the sit bone area or is it rock hard?
Thanks
