ADAMO noseless saddles, any one use them?

Looking at a better solution for a good saddle for pain free long distance rides. These look like they are a neat concept, but has anyone have any experience with any of there saddles. Look really funny with the twin legs out front but claim to be comfortable.

Find a local shop with demo saddles. Adamo sells the demo kit pretty cheaply - I have one.

I have the Prologue on my TT bike and Race on my trainer.

For TT use they work great, for everyday road use ... I'm not sure. They did just release a "Road" saddle instead of their line up of TT/Tri saddles. It's 270mm long, but only 115mm wide, so only narrow butts apply.

One thing with Adamo or split nose saddles is you ride them much differently. You don't sit on the back of them like a normal saddle, you ride on the front 1/2 of the saddle which is a big change for most people.

One of the issues that people have with them is they don't set them up correctly to begin with and they can be finicky to set up correctly.

The only way to know for sure if they will work for you or not is to try them out ... they have a good demo program from most places which will give you enough time to try them. If you like them, you can generally get good deals on new saddles off of E "Bay".

Agreed. We have noticed that the aero crowd loves them. We haven't seen much feedback on the Attack yet.

The knock on noseless saddles is that we do an amazing amount of bike handling using our thigh against the nose of the saddle. Whether they are comfortable is totally dependent on the rider and the setup.
