MTB (mountain bike riders) anyone?

[miLes]

Nice sir... Kasi kahit anung compute hanggang dyan talaga budget ko... Pwede ko na rin pa upgrade kung anu yun importante?

yes. pwede naman konti konti upgrade. but just make sure the part you are buying as an upgrade is compatible with your frame...or wheels or groupset.

most important upgrade for me will be the following:
suspension-fork
wheelset
brakes

those three will have direct affect on ride performance, i forgot to mention -cheap upgrade-tires. getting a good tire is important

eh pati rin pala saddle hehe maskina gano kalakas legs or lungs mo pagmasakit na pwet mo wala ka na haha i guess the saddle should be the first upgrade

Eto unang reklamo ko, hindi komportable yung stock saddle ko. Masakit sa pwet. Haha!

Hindi pa ba Jelly- filled 'yung saddle mo? Matigas nga 'yan kung ordinary foam saddle lang.
Palitan mo na lang, bago pa naman eh. Swap na lang plus additional cash.
P1K lang siguro add mo for a more comfortable saddle.

I should have told you about that noong bago ka pa bumili... sorry. :sad:
Wag mo na hintaying masira bago ka mag- upgrade.
Lubak- lubak na pwet mo bago pa masira 'yan, hehehe.

[piscesboy]

Hindi pa sir. Tingin ko ordinary foam lang gamit e. Anong brand ba maganda? Kahit hindi maganda at sporty tingnan basta comfortable lang ok na sakin.

bro, try WTB Pure V. para sa akin most comfortable saddle I had after 4x of changing...

Hindi ko na alam 'yung mga brands na available sa local market... andami na kasi, hehehe.

For me, Gel- filled saddles are far more comfy than the foam types.
This time I'll gladly recommend Taiwan products. Any brand will do.
Comfortable. cheap, durable... subok na ng tropa.
The cover is usually synthetic leather. Rails are CrMo, if you can find Ti rails, better.
Never pa namin naranasang "pumutok", iwasan lang na mahiwa. :goodluck:

havent tried this but it has good reviews before. used to be a fizik fan both on mtb and road. now my ass sits only on prologo hehe

yup dami ng brands. medyo trial and error yan and what is comfy for me might not be comfy for you, i used to get the softest saddle before but now, soft or hard okay lang basta may butas sa gitna hehe

eto na mga natry kong saddles:

fizik plateau - my first love, lasted me 4yrs hindi na ata in production tong model. very comfy even on long trail rides. saddle not durable.
fizik arione - used only once, traded for arione tri
fizik arione tri - crap, dont know why this saddle is very popular. it is soft but i get numbness on groin area. saddle not durable
specialized avatar - not as comfy as fizik but no numbness so it was a better saddle for me. there is creaking sound on rails, not as durable as fizik or prologo on rail area
prologo nag pas - very stiff but fits my sit bones well. ive done 260km single day ride, multi day century rides on this saddle no numbness. durability is better than fizik or specialized. good race saddle
prologo zero gel pas - stiff, similar feel to nag pas but slightly more comfortable since with gel
selle italia flite - best saddle ive tried. it is one saddle you put on your bike, and forget that you have a saddle. i mean it just feels so natural that you just concentrate on other things. downside expensive, around 7k but arione is almost same price, and that saddle sucks big time
prologo choice - same feel as arione but stiffer, also had numbness on groin area on long rides

ive tried so many other brands that ive forgot



also get cycling shorts. kasi may padding din yan added comfort

[joemarski]

Selle yata 'yung may butas sa gitna. Singawan, hehehe.
IIRC, heart- shaped ang selle while the Fizik is spade- shaped.
Pricey na 'yang mga 'yan lalo na ang Selle pero sulit naman talaga.

Siguro swerte lang na kung kailangan, may nakukuha naman akong Taiwan made
na mura na, maporma pa. Huwag na lang itanong kung ano ang brand...
mas malamang na "never heard", hahaha.

I always wear cycling shorts when I ride. Hapit kasi sa hita. Feels like second skin.
Nakaka- ilang kasi ang ordinary shorts. Lumi- lilis. Pakiramdam ko eh nakikita eggs ko.
Aside from getting a comfortable ride, added pogi points ang cycling shorts dahil sa "padding". :naughty2:

sir pwede eto muna upgrade and yun stainless chain. para di malubak yun pwet ko. nyahaha

[joemarski]

Nyahaha!!! Although my saddles are comfortable enough for me,
napatingin rin ako sa pwet ko at baka nga lubak- lubak na rin.

Why do I get this feeling that some MTB owners and viewers of this thread,
are already thinking of upgrading their saddles. :hysterical:

[piscesboy]

Was browsing glorious bikeshop fb page at meron silang wtb pure v saddle pero 1500 naman yun. Mahal pala plus shipping pa.
Meron din tig900 pero diko lang sure kung ok yun. Hehe!

[joemarski]

When shopping for saddles I usually bring 2000 petots
Swerte lang, marami pa ring pagpipilian na pasok pa sa budget.

Better go to your nearest LBS and "feel" the saddle yourself.
Your eyes might like them but your eggs might not. :freak:

mura na yang 1500 hehe, kung icombine ko lahat nagastos ko sa saddle isang magandang bike na yan haha. sinasabi ko nga sa iba, ibreak in yung pwet hindi yung saddle

WTB pure, comfy para sa akin, pero mabigat, I'm using fizik arione sa weight weenie FS ko, tapos selle royal dun sa other 2 FS at sa hard tail ko.

Nakupo, FB websites, lagot, Baka mapa bili na naman ako nyan, umiiwas na nga ako sa mga LBS.... mas madalas pa naman ako sa FB.
