    Finally got that saddle and it is very, very comfortable. The key to any good saddle is not being conscious of it while riding. Also, matching a good set of bibs or pants with it.

      Nice! Enjoy it. This is all true. Solid bibs will add the comfort of your ride in the saddle for sure.

      Yes it feels like there's no saddle at all if that makes sense

    I just switched out to a Bontrager (not your model) that my bike shop sold to me for $20. Turned out to be the most comfortable I’ve had on a road bike! Thanks for the review.

    Just found a brand new one in a discount warehouse for only $30 USD! Just mounted on my BMC SLR01. Looks and feels awesome!

    Just got a brand new Aeolus Comp off ebay for $75. My previous saddle was a SMP TRK so I was worried if the padding was going to be enough on the Aeolus. But man I don't know how but the Aeolus Comp is MORE comfortable! Love it!

    Great saddle. I have ridden thousands of clicks on this baby and my butt thanks me. I wish the the flare out on its widest part was a millimetre or two narrow tho. I think that would make it the perfect saddle for me.

      For sure! I was thinking of adding it to my gravel bike because it’s way more comfortable than my Ergon

    Me: "I should ride with Manny some day."
    Manny: "...almost 40 miles so far..."
    Me: "It's fun watching Manny videos at home."
    😂
    I used to do 25-30 a day. I need to get it back up and fast. That riding weather is right around the corner and Corona Social Distancing has the roads congestion free.

      Even with a lot of climbing, 40 miles is no that far. Anyone can do it.

    Is this saddle also good for riding in a more relaxed position rather than all the way down on the dropbars?

    is this a good choice for people that just have a flat-bar bike?

      For sure! Bike shouldn’t matter nor whether it’s flat bar.

    Hello and thanks for the video. I have recently bought the pro version but i can't find the sweet spot! Can you give any tip for the setup, how to level etc.?

    • @dwaynepedals
      @dwaynepedals  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hmm. dip the saddle's nose down a bit. I've heard the material on the Pro version is different from the Comp but I can't say for sure.

      Krzysztof Olender I have the 145mm but definitely get sized up before you get one unless you already know what size you need.

    Hi! I am thinking about buying this saddle and I have the same saddle bag that you are using, Lezyne. Is there enough place to have both the saddlebag and saddle adapter for bontrager flare rear light? Thanks!

    • @clobber66
      @clobber66 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sure is light rail bolts on tail leaving loads of room underneath for saddle bag.
