Review on ๐Ÿšฒ Giddy Up! Oversized Comfortable Bike Seat - Extra Wide Universal Fit Bicycle Saddle - Indoor Outdoor Padded Memory Foam Replacement by David Robinson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The most comfortable saddle ever!

Disclaimer: I am NOT compensated for this review. And today I got my new apartment. It came in a factory sealed pouch with an Allen key and a double public key (10mm and 13mm). You only need the 13mm end. I didn't use a hex wrench at all. Total installation time was 6:36. Serious. I swear this is the first time I've bought something that claims to be "universal", which it actually was. I removed my old seat, put on the new one, adjusted the level, tightened the nuts, done. I didn't even break a nail! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ As for comfort. Well, let me tell you my butt is grateful I bought this seat. My sit bones (also called buttocks) no longer rub against the saddle. I live on a (not well maintained) gravel road, so getting onto the paved road was very painful at times. I have a permanent bruise there. I did a short 1 mile ride today and didn't feel a thing. I wanted a wide, very wide saddle for stability and I got it. You can see the size difference in my photos. As for the ride itself. Pretty sleek. You can see there was a solid bar under my old seat - no rebound. This saddle has a good spring system, which I felt immediately while working. There wasn't much shaking on my crappy gravel road. I already have a reflector on my bike under the saddle, so I didn't use the reflective tape that came with it. I've only had it for 3 hours so can't comment on durability yet. . I've read several reviews that claim springs fail within 3-6 months. If this happens to me, I will update my review. At the moment I'm recommending this as a good alternative to the pathetic hard seats that come with bikes. I don't think you will regret it.

Pros
