I saw there's threads of any kind but not for the most important part of the bike, the seat.
So this it will be a /bsg/ Bike seat general

Say what you will about "offroad" saddles on a road bike but I've been very pleased with my Prologo 143 NDR

>>2065664
Brooks in general is midwit tier and overpriced, the reason it's so popular with casuals is that there's no way to get it adjusted right so the shittiest most slipshod adjustment is just as good as spending hours at it with all the whizbang measurement equipment so people who have never set up their bike correctly think it's a miracle that it feels the same no matter how little effort you put into it
>but effort is for tryhard freds!
Yes, at least we agree on that

You seat on them, so is s bike seat

Is this so you can shit while riding?

>>2065696
Yes.

>>2065706
Pretty cool, you could use a butt plug tail light. Keep it attached by tying it to your balls. Just shit it out and pop it right back in whenever you want.
>>
>>2065694
I would like to try this one, is really comfortable?

i looked it up and apparently it's for "prostate problems" and "designed by a urologist" so i think it's actually for people who piss themselves
>>
>>2065734
It's for fat people like bike cops etc. Being fat can put a lot of pressure on the perineum if you're too dumb to adjust the saddle
>>
>>2065737
i thought that at first, that it's for 'rhoids or something, but that manufacturer already makes other saddles that specifically say they're for lower spine/butt bone/butt hole health. that one mentions "urology" and "prostate" too many times so i think it's genuinely for people who have prostate cancer or some other up-the-butt rather than around-the-butt problem

i dont think its literally designed for catheter or ostomy toobs but it does seem like the conversation that leads you to get one would go something like
>you have non-metastastizing ass cancer. eat right and exercise and it will help ur 12% insurance-subsidized McTreatment™
>But doctor, I hate all forms of exercise except for biking, and whilst I biked here I felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen and then peed a little bit. Is there another way?

>not my problem, either you're going in diapers before you hit 40 or you pay me personally 129,594.97 for a special bike seat that retails for a couple hundred bucks

and then the fat dentist chooses to buy one of those on amazon instead of having a recurring charge to Rearz, Inc. billed to his insurance
>>
Some of you people have a child's attitude towards health issues. Old age is going to hit you like a ton of bricks when you find out there are some age related conditions that won't care how much you think you exercised or how much better your diet was than the fatty fat hamplanet strawmen that represent "those other people" in your self-satisfied mind. A lifetime of shattered just world fallacies, on top of the health condition itself. If you're married at that point, I feel sorry for your future spouse.

Actually you'll probably get a preview when your own parents start reaching "that age", but if your just world hypothesis is real, you'll blame it on their original sin, and plow obliviously into middle age, utterly unprepared for what awaits you

>actually I'm just going to kill myself at age 29 years, 11 months, and 29 days!
Yeah, most kids say that
>>
>>2065740
i didn't say it's the dentist's fault he has ass cancer, i was digging more at the insistence on being a lycra faggot and a side dig at the US making medical equipment more expensive than its MSRP to support insurance companies essentially becoming dropshippers for medical equipment

i can't even fault the seat. i did look it up and they seem to retail for usually not more than 300$. considering a 'roid donut for a chair that won't pop when you shake a little bit from laughing during a movie can already make you have to break a c-note and "high end" bike seats are already hundreds of dollars, that ain't really bad.

i wouldn't get one today since it appears designed to alleviate symptoms rather than defend from issues coming up (similar to how sitting on a donut doesnt prevent roids, it just makes them not get worse) but if my doc told me I have ass cancer but this seat will at least make me less uncomfortable I'd gladly get one. medical features aside, if you look into it it's got some neat features

why do they even still make gel seats? they get wet once and then feel like a soggy diaper forever

i had one once that i didnt even take out in the rain or snow and just over a humid month it got mushy and swollen. they have to be making them badly on purpose. my mousepads with gel rests don't do that shit and i have spilled liquor on mine

Sitting on your perineum can result in prostate problems, impotence and incontinence. This saddle completly eliminates pressure on your perineum. It's either a better safe than sorry solution or for people that already have those problems
>>
>>2065752
fair assessment but that same company makes similar seats that allow for buttcheek redistribution and form an active suspension to translate pedalling motions into something like a walking motion to assist in lower back and asshole health. were I shopping for ass-support seats, I would get one of their other offerings first and leave the specific one anon posted as a recommendation from my urologist
>>
Why do Brooks make people seethe. My b17 is perfectly molded to my butt shape, looks great and will probably be serving faithfully on someone else’s bike long after I’m dead. Yall can keep your plastic gel foam garbage.

>>2065765
it doesn't, your "viral marketing" does

If you aren't rolling Brooks saddle on a Cannondale your a fucking poorfag. Simple as.
>>
Interesting no one here rides I guess
>>
>>2065778
what's with all the cannondale seething lately? someone in a former soviet republic just found out about brands that aren't flying pigeon and whatever the USSR handed out to party commisars prior to the breakup? I suppose a brooks would be pretty comfy on one of those boat anchors though.
>>
>>2065791
What's there even to talk about? My ass is fine with most sporty looking saddles but my favourite is the vento argo. Thanks for reading.

also I find it hilarious how after paying top coin to get the most overpriced piece of shit saddle, people proceed to "break in" that thing for sometimes up to 5000 miles while suffering through debilitating discomfort. Truly the midwit of saddles, a massive paid humiliation ritual. If your saddles isn't comfortable day 1 why bother broocucks?
>>
Curse ye whomstve mentioned brooks
See what ye did?
>>
>>2065832
you are saying this as if it's some kind of a troll jest thing that is shitposted for fun but it's actually true and people parroting to get a brooks are delusional. I have noticed that people with wider hips (low T genetics and/or overweight) tend to meme brooks the most since any normal saddle isn't wide and bouncy enough for their mongoloid genetics.

>umm sweaty did you put the lotion on it?
>did you buck broke your saddle properly?
>try tilting it up your ass a bit
>you are doing something wrong! I love mine!
