Finally had time to go for a longer ride to form a better opinion of the saddle.

I love Selle Italia saddles but their carbon rails tend to crack when your bike falls and the saddle hit the ground. Of course they won't help with warranty claim even when a saddle is rated for "gravel use" haha but it's okay, comfy while it lasted.

On the other hand I’m not sure how many carbon rails would survive this to be honest! I suppose if any component is struck at the right angles and with the right force it wouldn’t survive? Carbon top tubes crushed on a bike maintenance stand for example

I have the Sella Italia SLR Super flow saddle...and can't go wrong with good old-fashioned rim brakes 👌🏻

Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to get mine. There is nowhere to be found in stock in Europe. Im changing from the s-works power the regular one. Been on it since it was launched,, but for more than 4 hours, I really struggled. I tried the mirror power; it was way too soft for me. Is the Radar mount 3d printed as well?

Hey mate, the mount for the RTL715 itself is 3D printed from MadCAD which connects it to a regular GoPro mount. The opposite end which is the saddle mount is a cheap Aliexpress Garmin saddle mount for $7 which needed very slight modifications with a dremmel to sit where I wanted it to on the rail. Also stuck on same bar tape to cussion the mount against the rails. Good luck! Hope that the saddle works for you, I havent had any issues with it at all 3mths in

How did you mount your radar on there like that?

Check Aliexpress for RTL715 saddle rail mount 👍

Sorry what is the brand of the bike? I can see you spare no expense on top quality components and you stick to rim brake so the bike must be super light weight. What is the total weight of the bike now?

@nightrider7474 10 ай бұрын

Thanks @saltydog547 it’s a Cervelo R5 limited edition. It weighs 6.2kg without pedals. I only weigh 71kg and the braking on the Schmolke wheels is very very good. I just don’t feel like spending $20K AUD on a disc brake bike that weighs 7.3kg?

Hi there! Any idea how thick the actual printed 3D mesh is, in millimeters under the sit bone areas?

@nightrider7474 7 ай бұрын

Hey there, it is very hard to tell but I've always noticed that the saddle is exactly the same thickness throughout as a regular SLR Boost from Selle Italia. I am not sure if this is good or not because IMO thicker (more material) is better?

@Kilian541 Жыл бұрын

Do you feel like this saddle causes more chafing with the sort of jagged 3d printing texture? I sometimes ride my bike without bibs and am worried it might cause more chafing than the regular version

@nightrider7474 Жыл бұрын

Hi mate, Golly I can't help you there I always ride with bibshorts! If you ride with shorts without a chamois at least I dont think this is a problem (sorry but I am picturing you riding naked! haha) but I am sure you mean like in Triathlon where you are coming out of the water in swim gear?

What is the tilt that you do in this saddle?

@nightrider7474 Жыл бұрын

Hey mate, it’s been a long long road on the tilt angle. It’s personal to you, I run slammed stem so for me 1 degree forward tilt is perfect. 1.5 too much, 0.5 too little.

@samuel8590 19 күн бұрын

@@nightrider7474 So personal on the tilt. I run my Selle Italia slr Boost 130 at 2.5 Down. Everyone's anatomy is different. Bike fitters say level, or you will slip off. Not true. For whatever reason, 2.5 degrees down seems level to my anatomy. I don't slip off and no pressure on my hands. Experimentation is key.

⁠@@samuel8590100% agree. I did try a 130mm SLR once and it was no good for me. I’m able to ride long and low on my S5 in the drops for 90min threshold sessions perfectly fine on the 145mm so I agree it’s all personal
