i agree with dinraxx... brand wise selle italia is a more reputable saddle maker than velo...longer history too i believe...

you have to factor in if there is any saddles that you particularly like from either brand...

hard to comment and comment might make totally no sense if you are comparing apple to apples...

if you are taking a RM25 saddle comparing to this, then there is a comparison...

if not, then hard to say... my butt is not your butt... and likewise...wat suits me might not for you... if you get what i meant...

er... use tire levers to pull the tube out... find a pokok getah... scratch some rubber liquid out... patch the tube... put it back... and pump?

Went to the today stage finish line. Not much freebies as I expected. Instead of waiting at the finish line itself, i wait at the place where all the support team car parked. Managed to take pic with the Garmin team director but not any of the rider

and maybe the Selle Royal Dardo .... look so comfy


but velo senso and selle italia look more ergonomic for man

they mean tire levers and pump as tools la... tube is provided without question...

you...FAIL for asking dumb questions...

eh... wat u expect as freebies... my freebies is keychain and maybe milo satchets only wor... and some LTDL branded sun visor caps...

jonathan vaughters? he came here?

cutout saddles are not for everyone is all i can say...

a piece of duct tape can work to patch the tube too in case of emergencies. Found that out when I had 2 punctures on the same day, and don't have my patch kit with me

duct tape cannot la... it creases up and is quite unflexible... maybe you are lucky... it should leak air because it can't seal as well...

my most champion one was.. during mountain biking days... stuff the tyres full of grass to ride home... problem was brought spare tube.. but didn't realize the tyre was ripped.. so immediately bocor once i got on the bike...

hard to ride.. but at least got me home without ruining the rims... but spent like an hour pulling and collecting to try to get enough grass into the tyres...

yeah, won't be surprised if its still leaking air, but was enough for the 30 minutes for me to get home

yeah...wateva gets you home...

it's called survival skills on the road...

WAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHHAHAHHAHAH

my 2 cents advice, I will personally suggest Fi'zik or Selle Italia.. These are the common brand and rated as a good saddle in Malaysia for roadbikes and also easily to be found in your lbs.Do ask for test, and seat on it and feel..If you really desperate to look and get the feel, just opt in for Specialized Toupe saddles.They're also good but on the other hand you'll have to pay the ferociously expensive price.

Prologo scratch pro..haha..i got the red one when Jami put it on my Pinarello.Good saddle is good, but my ass whines over Selle.

My saddale is damaged during the crash large abbbrasion mark on the side mixed with my blood stain. Do i need to buy replacement for it?
