Evening STW Massive!

Anyone using the above rear end perch?

Im so impressed with the saddle on my Robaiux that im now considering swapping my mtb saddle to something similar.

Does the Phenom Expert have a weight limit? - Concerned about the hollow Ti rails......

Thanks in advance,

Alan.

It's a great saddle, but even at 75kg the ti rails only last a year max on the sl. The steel railed one lasts a lot longer (3 years so far...)

I am selling one, yours for £35 posted.
Has hardly been used, ti rails remain dead straight, no real signs of any wear and tear.
Super comfy. Have had quite a few over the years, often try alternatives, SDG, Fizik, etc but usually come back to spez. again.
Let me know if you want to take a punt.

Saddles are a very personal thing, but even though I work in a shop that doesn't sell Specialized (and our local competitor does), I still run Specialized Phenom or Romin saddles on all my bikes in a 143mm width, cos nothing else I've tried is remotely as comfy!

I've never had any problems with Phenoms breaking, and I did break several Toupes.
