Mayy be a little careful with what we say in these #metoo times, but we mean it: we’re interested in your seat. Has Mother Nature provided you with a generous helping of sturdy buttocks, do you cultivate your neatly trained sporting poo or frolic around with a narrow chicken butt? No matter how well-built your butt, it deserves a custom saddle on your bike.
Saddle pain, pimples and sleeping willy’s
One of the most common injuries in cyclists is saddle pain. Novice cyclists often suffer from painful leg nodules during a long ride. Just because their bodies aren’t used to so much sudden friction. The inside of the femur can rub against the saddle, especially if you hobble long with a too narrow saddle over an irregular road surface. This irritates the skin and causes small abrasions or abrasions, from which sometimes even pimples come to squeak. Untrained many kilometers times over the cobblestones can also cause numbness of the genitals. Without going into details, it seems as if your pronte masculinity after a solid ride becomes a lot less proud and even takes a nap. This is due to increased pressure on the nerve or on the blood vessels that supply the nerve. Fortunately, this is only temporary and the feeling returns quickly afterwards.Tuned to perfection
With a well-tuned bike you don’t have to deal with those annoying ailments. No more pain in the ass! The right saddle height is important, so that your seat is stable and does not constantly slide over the saddle. The distance between saddle and handlebar should also be perfectly tailored to your body. Otherwise, you may bend over backwards or sit back and you will have to absorb extra pressure from the pubic area or back. The adjustments are so crucial that we determine them very accurately for you on our test bike. Equally important is the right choice of saddle. That’s very different and personal for everyone. That’s why we are somewhat skeptical about other bike shops that offer standard bikes with saddles and all. Of course, you have a lot of saddles with gel and ‘padding’ that distribute the pressure under your weight, but your poo really deserves a well-adjusted saddle. That determines at least half of your cycling pleasure!
Brooks, de Rolls-Royce voor je poep
The Rolls-Royce under the saddles are those of Brooks England. They are truly as comfortable and durable as they look! The company was founded in 1866 and for a century and a half the British designers have been designing the very best saddles for the passionate cycling freak. You’ll recognize a Brooks saddle right away. It’s timeless: retro enough for the hip birds and at the same time very contemporary so that it fits perfectly with a modern bike. And – perhaps most importantly – it’s so solidly built that you may never have to replace such a saddle!
