I am a new member to the world of endurance/competitive trail
riding. I have been considering purchasing the Sports Saddle. In reading
about the Sports Saddle on the Internet it has been interesting to see such
a wide range of comments. I have not had a chance to ride in a Sports
Saddle for any length of time but I found it to be extremely comfortable for
the short time I was in it. I have a few questions if anyone would like to
comment. They are: 1) Is a person's "backside" as comfortable after 25+
miles in the Sports Saddle versus a saddle with bars?? 2) Further
clarification about the "flap" underneath the leg/knee that has caused some
problems; 2) the position of the stirrups for balance and 3) is this saddle
good for someone who might have an "achy" lower back? Also, I had read that
someone else is planning on modifying the Sports Saddle. Is this saddle
available? What are the major differences? Kim.
