Has anyone tried the selle repente saddles? They look pretty nice.
Yep, big fan of the Quasar. In fact I posted this above:
"Going back to the OP, I'm a huge fan of the Repente Quasar which works really well with my bottom. It allows me to get low on the drops but it's also very comfortable for long distances off and on road.
The carbon railed one is about as light as padded saddles go at 120 grams and the steel railed saddle is great value and still only 170 grams. I have weighed both saddles myself and found the reported weights to be correct."

Tried alot, but have ended up with S-works Romin Evo Mirror saddle. Comfy as a sofa
I have the same saddle wonder what saddle tilt you use? and do you measure from rear to tip or only the front half section.
For the moment I have -1 degree in the front half section. Back section slightly more minus degrees, but my hip didn't like it when the front section tilted upwards.

Berk lupina padded saddle.
Tried alot from cheap to expensive, Fizik, Fabric, no-brand, Specialized.....giant....
Been on this Berk Lupina padded for the last 2 years now, did 175km 9hr+ riding and no problem.
Saddle is very subjective and vastly depends on the person's behind.

I really liked the 142 specialized power that came on my tarmac, but it dug into my hamstrings too much. I've tried the arc before, and that definitely didn't work for me. I've been on 130 toupe or phenom for years and they work pretty good. Has anyone gone from a 142 power to a 130 power and found reliefe from the dreaded hamstring punch?
Just in case anyone is looking for this info in the future, I finally tracked down a 130mm power and it is awesome. Doesn't dig into the hamstring like the 142 did, and I find it more comfortable than the 130 toupe it is replacing.

Interesting, never knew that even existed (130mm Power).

Lately been on the new Pro Stealth Team and beeen very happy with it. I had the old one and this one is flatter (at least the carbon railed version) which is great.

Selle Italia SLR Boost Superflow 130mm. I'd love to have even wider cutout tho. Pro Stealth, the older version atleast, is too wide. Is there any saddle thats in between?
Try Pro Stealth Curved.

So just got a new Pro Stealth Performance - it has a slightly different shape than the Team version which is on carbon rails. The carbon railed seat is flatter, the steel railed one has a more pronounced upward kick.
I faced a similar issue with the steel railed Romin and carbon railed Romin sometime back. Interesting how this is.
