chinese carbon saddles

[extremecarver]

Or anything similar to the old Fizik Gobi XM with Kium rails - Those were my favourite saddles overall. Light and comfy (the Kium rail versions were always the best, more flexible vs manganese (steel) and much better than the brick like carbon Fizik saddles of old days. I got on quite well with the Arione too - but again not the model with channel.

I could be wrong, but maybe the only saddle that looks slightly similar to this one made by Ryet is https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005008183614010.html, give it a try! I hope it helps.

I don't think I can buy Ryet - they all have the same rail construction which outright doesn't work for me. I need some saddles that have rails that actually go back most the way like Fizik Kium does.

Is https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256810334963440.html a knockoff of a Western design? Looks pretty distinctive but I can't readily identify it.
In my experience, little or none. I didn't put huge miles on mine (preferred SQLabs), but I didn't notice any untoward wear from the time I did spend on them.

I knew I saw it somewhere took me a minute to remember. I've only seen a few youtubers review it who probably got it for free.

How much damage does the 3D printed surface do to bib shorts? Is it a cheese grater?

My bibs don't seem to be affected by the 3d printing.

But the 3d printing on mine is beginning to break down after almost 2 years of use. Not to the point of replacement yet. only noticeable when I press my thumb on it – then I can tell where I must have the most pressure on the saddle. Still very comfy. Eventually I'll replace it with the EVA version (which I already use on my off-road bikes).

ordered the 3d printed one!

how is the 3D version working out for you? I am unsure if I should try the 3D or EVA one

Here is a picture showing why Ryet saddles absolutely don't work if you like your saddle not slammed back most of the way, the fizik carbon rail saddle I have actually is even better than this steel railed one..

3cm here difference when slammed forward. 4cm Vs my fizik Antares with carbon rails, a giant saddle that came stock in my revolt advanced pro 0 is 2.5cm more forward.

On the other hand if you like to slam the saddle backwards the Ryet are great. But the trend is the opposite and if you don't happen to have a ridles noah fast and find the position too extreme I would stay the shit away from Ryet.

Are thee any nice Chinese saddles that actually mount nicely forward? My old fizik saddles reach the end of their life and the new ones aren't anywhere near as fitting to my as the old Antares, aliante or Gobi...

And on the picture I'm rather giving the seated position on the Ryet some slack. Guess it's actually another 5mm  worse .

That means at least 1° slacker seated position. For some saddles in comparison rather 2°.

Hi, weirdness. This saddle was mentioned earlier in the thread, but it's saying it can't be shipped to my region (Taiwan).

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007562819812.html

If you're anywhere else, could you see if it's available to you please? It could be out of stock, and that's their default trick to keep folks shopping on their store, or they don't like my region...

[gribs]

All 3 are showing as available to ship to the UK. I actually own the cheapest one and currently have it on my gravel bike. I expected it to be crap but it's comfy and light, and hasn't broken yet.

[shoushou]

Same here. Available to ship to Canada and I also have the EVA version.

[alfiomotrambo]

Same here available to ship to italy as well

I was comparing saddle rails and this looked like it had the most adjustment in the rear.
No idea if it's good.

Yep - that one really can slam forwards - but it doesn't look like my shape at all (disliking channels - and preferring no channel at all).
