Bought this for a gift for Christmas and my husband says it's a great seat.
Installed one on my Schwinn Ridge Al mountain bike.Comfortable to ride for hours.
I read all the reviews on this product and felt this was going to be the seat that would help me ride for miles and miles without the pain and numbness. :-( Unfortunately, this was not the case. I am still having difficulty sitting after riding with this seat and have had to go back to the original seat for my bike.
No signs of wear to speak of.unless you're attached to the schwinn logo on the lycra part.it was gone, almost immediately. This works much better. I bought this seat after trying the add-on gel type seat covers. It isn't too soft but still alot more comfortable than the stock saddle you get on you average new bike. So.I like this saddle and actually ordered one for one of my friends, she also thought it made a world of difference. I've used it for one season and it has been great.
It has a nice firm 'squishy' feel and surprisingly does absorb the shock pretty well considering it has no springs. As such, I wanted to find a saddle that is not too wide or too narrow and has some cushion AND didn't cost a fortune. My bo'om is ready to stop riding long before the rest of me, which is not beneficial to helping me to burn off the excess pounds, which is the reason I wanted to get a bike. I bought this saddle for an old Pacific road bike that I am transforming into the ultimate comfort/hybrid bike. I previously had a Schwinn cruiser seat that was too wide for me and rubbed my chubby little thighs. I am 5'3" and weigh 190 lbs. However, before long I can feel my seat bones pressing on the seat's rails, which really starts to hurt. A minor complaint is that the Schwinn emblems on the sides of the saddle began to rub off after the first ride.
:) I wanted a saddle that is comfy but not too wide. I paid $17.00 and change for this saddle. This seat may work well for someone who is lighter, but if you're heavy, I would recommend that you do some more shopping. The seat is attractive and for me the perfect width.
