Re: chinese carbon saddles
This is perhaps an odd question but has anyone found excessive wear on their bib shorts caused by a 3D printed saddle? I'm kind of interested in trying one out but not too keen on doing it at the expense of my bib shorts. I’ve ridden two 3D printed saddles (Ryet Aircode and other Ryet one) for the last 2 years and this hasn’t been a case for me. But some forum users can confirm it does eat their bibs quite a bit.

IMO the only time there is ware on the bibs, is when people dont sit properly on their saddles (read saddle too high) and they rock from side to side. Not only is this not comfortable (and the search for saddles continues) but it also causes "shaving" effect on the bibs material. I have used 3d saddles for the last 30K km or so. Never an issue.

I'm kind of interested in trying one out but not too keen on doing it at the expense of my bib shorts. I had bib wear on my ryet aircode (the pro stealth version). It's definately a combination of the open cell 3d print at the edges and the wide nose design and nothing to do with saddle height as someone mentioned. I placed gorilla tape at the edges and the rubbing was gone. Everybody is different, my friends use the same saddle and have no bib wear. I purchased the sworks mirror copy from ryet and it's been perfect, the nose is narrower and tapers in more aggressively than the pro stealth copy. November 26, 2025, 03:33:24 PM |

I placed gorilla tape at the edges and the rubbing was gone. Can confirm that the original Aircode has a SUPER wide nose that led to some rubbing on my thighs. I was worried about ruining my bibs, but after a few hundred miles I never saw anything that bad. I switched from an Aircode to a different Ryet saddle with a 3d printed top (no wide nose) and I see zero rubbing and zero bib wear after thousands of miles. November 26, 2025, 03:47:00 PM |
