My Profile 		Can anyone tell me what this saddle is like please and is it worth buying? Would like it for occasional long distance(as in five miles). have seen it on Wiggle for £22.49 with free delivery. Should I go for it? Many thanks.

My Profile 		Unless you are taking 10 hours to cycle the "Occasional long distance (as in five miles)", save your money because the benefits would not be felt in such a short ride.

If you are getting any discomfort with your present saddle, adjust it.

My Profile 		You can buy a much cheaper but still very suitable saddle for much less then £22.49 which is gel filled and comfortable.

Check out the link for a large selection of lady gel filled saddles.

My Profile 		From experience I believe that gel saddles are not worth it. This is due to the fact that gel saddles increase the surface area with which the body is in contact with the saddle so can cause more chaffing. Regular riding with standard saddle should be better, but hey I am a bloke with no experience in lady-specific designed saddles.

UKbikestore is good. I met Mr UKBIKESTORE on a ride once a few years back seemed decent enough and I have bought one or 2 items from there since. They dont have a huge range but if they have what you want job done.

Keep those pedals turning.
