MIXED Full Carbon Fiber 5D Ultra Pack Light Weight Bike Saddle 143mm 135g for Road MTB Mountain Bicycle Carbon Seats
SaddlePicked up the Mixed 5D saddle recently. I have about 100 miles on it this week and I gotta say, this thing is awesome!
I don’t have any rides over 2 hours on it yet but I don’t see longer rides being a problem, although it is slightly firmer than I usually prefer, it’s shaped just about perfectly for my build and riding posture.
