It differs from the Toupe in that it has a slightly curved shape. This curved shape allows a variety of positions ensuring that it is comfortable when time trialling and the up-turned rear section means that you can remain in the saddle and push back when climbing.

Fizik Versus Saddles

Posted by Damo | No Comments »

Fizik’s three most popular saddles are Aliante, Antares and Arione and the company has produced a spin-off range that is known as the Versus range. These saddles have been created with the same dimensions but there is the addition of a “negative space” AKA channel. What this mens is that the Versus saddles make use of thick foam to provide extra padding while still maintaining the shape of the standard Fizik saddles.

Below are the three Fizik Versus Saddles for sale at great prices.

Fizik Versus Saddles For Sale - Pressure Relief Saddles at great prices!

The Fizik saddles are not constructed with any holes or cut outs because the company believes holes in the saddle would reduce the integrity of the shell. You would experience flex and sag due to the cut out area of the saddle while the pressure relief area of the Versus design provides you with the best ergonomic design possible. The channel added in the Versus saddles not only provides pressure relief down the length of the saddle but it also improves the airflow.

Fizik Arione Versus Saddle

So that there is room for the channel to be added to the saddle there is a build up of foam but this doesn’t add terribly much more weight to the saddle. The dimensions of the Arione is 300mm long and 132mm at its widest.

Fizik Antares Versus Saddle

The Fizik Antares saddle is flat like the Arione but is wider, which makes it similar to the Aliante in that respect. In other words the Antares fits in the middle of the Arione and the Aliante in dimensions. The dimensions of the Antares is 274mm long and 142mm at it’s widest.

Fizik Aliante Versus Saddle

The Fizik Aliante is the widest of the three Versus saddles and also features the same negative space channel of the other saddles. The K:ium rails that feature on the Versus saddles means that there is a weight reduction in the saddle to the standard Aliante and it also provides better vibration absorption. The dimensions of the Aliante is 265mm long and 142mm at its widest.

The creation of these saddles is in response to the need to appeal to a wider range of cyclists. There have been calls for a pressure relief zone with these popular Spine Concept saddles and this is the result.

Brooks B17 Standard Saddle For Sale

Posted by Damo | No Comments »

There is still a lot to be said for the quality of a traditionally popular bicycle saddle such as the Brooks B17. This is a saddle that is worth every cent because it is simply one of the most comfortable long distance saddles possible.

Take this opportunity to buy a Brooks B17 saddle for your bike.

Buy A Brooks B17 Standard Saddle

The Brooks B17 Standard Saddle has been the perfect riding saddle for a long time now and it is still being produced in the same way to provide a maximum of comfort and durability. The saddle has a full-grain leather cover and will mold to your body shape or riding style as you continue to use it. This breaking in period can seem to take a very long time but it will be worth it when the saddle becomes one of the most comfortable bicycle seats you could possibly imagine.

The simple fact that the Brooks B17 saddle has been around for so long is testament to the comfort and performance that it delivers. It may seem to be too hard on the behind when it is first added to the bike but this will soften with use and the fact that it will adjust its shape to conform to the contours of your body turns the seat into a more personal one.

As far as what the construction of the Brooks B17 saddle consists of you will find that the leather is stretched over a steel framework. There have been different versions of the B17 manufactured over the years with a thin nosed version and a light version available. But the standard original B17 is still the one that most people prefer.

There are many reasons for wanting to buy a Brooks B17 saddle and most of them centre around the question of comfort. The younger riders who are used to a more modern design will shy away from the Brooks B17 because it is a saddle that looks to large and too heavy. It also doesn’t provide the rider with the sleek design that they might consider right for them.

Try a Brooks B17 bicycle saddle to ensure that your all-day treks are completed in the greatest comfort possible.

Product Features

  • Material: Leather
  • Rails: Steel
  • Weight: 580g (18.6oz)
  • Recommended Use: Road biking

Some Top Selling Bicycle Pedal Clips

Posted by Damo | No Comments »

Bicycle pedals come in a range of different types depending on the type of bike you ride and the level of experience you have. One of the most recent innovations for riders is the clip-in pedal which also goes by another name that appears to be the exact opposite because they are also known as clipless pedals.

Here is a selection of top-selling clipless bicycle pedal clips for sale.

Click on each image to get more information about each pedal and details about how you can buy them.

Shimano PD-M324 Clipless/Clip Pedals
 Wellgo WPD-823 MTB Clipless Pedals
 Shimano PD-A530 SPD Dual Platform Pedal

The reason to use bicycle pedal clips is to ensure the rider is able to generate the maximum amount of power possible with each rotation of the pedals without the fear of his/her feet sliding off the pedals. To use pedal clips the rider must also be wearing a pair of cycling shoes with cleats attached to the bottom. When mounting the bike and preparing to begin riding, the rider places the cleats into a sprung mechanism in the pedal. By pushing down firmly the cleat will clip into the pedal and you will hear a loud clunk. To remove the foot from the pedal the rider must twist their heel to one side which allows the cleat to escape.

Delta Bicycle Strapless Toe Clips
 Zefal Bicycle Half Toe Clips
 Wellgo MTB Pedals With Clips & Straps

There is another type of pedal clip that has been in use for somewhat longer than the clipless pedals and that is the toe clip with straps. These clips allow the foot to be placed into a basket-like clip with a semi-circular rubber or metal clip. While the clipless pedals allow the rider to apply pressure throughout the entire rotation of the pedalling action, toe-clips only allow the rider to exert pressure on the downward part of the pedalling action.

There is a huge range of different types of pedal clips available that could make it a little confusing when trying to buy a set. It is possible to buy bicycle pedal clips cheaply if you know what you are looking for and are willing to shop around. Some of the brand names you should look out for include Shimano, Crank Brothers, Delta, Zefal, Wellgo, MKS, Avenir and Origin 8.

Discounted bicycle pedal clips are often available when old stock is being replaced with the new season products. It is always a good idea to keep a lookout for these bargains when you are comparing prices. Reviews of bicycle pedal clips have revealed that there are some clips that are more reliable than others and it would pay to take notice of what people have to say.

Now only are these three bicycle seats very comfortable, they are all available at under $20 each.

Here are some brief reviews to give you a little more information about each of the seats displayed above.

 

Schwinn Pillow Top Cruiser Bicycle Seat

Although the name of the seat is a "pillow top" it is not super soft. In other words it has a measure of support that you would expect from a bicycle seat to cushion you from the many bumps that you would inevitably ride over. So if you are expecting an ultra-cushioned bicycle seat you will be mistaken.

That being siad the Cruiser Bicycle Seat is definitely softer than many of the original seats that are fitted to bikes straight from the manufacturer.  When you compare the Schwinn Pillow Top Cruiser Bicycle Seat to other similar seats it becomes obvious how much more comfortable this seat is.

If you look carefully at the image of the seat above the top of the seat is made of a fabric and this will grip the fabric of your bicycle pants. Don't expect to be able to slide all over the seat as you are throwing your bike around. For those people who like a little bit of movement on the saddle as they ride, you might want to consider this purchase more carefully.

The seat measures 10.8 x 8.8 x 4.9 inches and weighs 1.7 pounds.

Schwinn Adult Ergonomic Bicycle Saddle

This is a bicycle seat that has been designed to give the rider the maximum level of comfort possible on a bike while still providing some cushioning and feel. The seat requires a little bit of specialist adjusting when it is first fitted. Due to the nature of the seat and it's level of softness, riders might notice that the seat is not in the exact spot they require and will need readjusting. Take the time to adjust the seat properly to get the most out of it.

 When looking for a comfortable bicycle seat it will be difficult to beat the Schwinn Adult Ergonomic Bicycle Saddle. The customer reviews overwhelmingly support the quality of this seat.

Schwinn No Pressure Bicycle Seat

This is a seat that some people may find is a little difficult to get used to. It is a comfort seat but it is shaped a little differently to what most people might expect. Those who have been able to adjust to the No Pressure Bicycle Seat have found that they were more comfortable riding the bike using this seat.

Those who have found problems have generally reported that it is difficult to control the bike using this type of seat. Others have complained that it is simply and uncomfortable seat to ride on. Obviously this seat provides something different so when you buy it you should ensure that it is properlay fitted and that you give it a fair go before discarding it.

This is a saddle that is made for a road bike only and it is available in either black or white with rails that are blue anodized titanium. The shell of the saddle is made from carbonite composite carbon that is designed to shape itself to the contours of your body as you sit on it.

Not surprisingly this is an extremely lightweight saddle but the cushioning is non-existent. Also it is a saddle that has a weight limit of 185lbs meaning that it is a saddle that has been designed for the lighter riders.

One of the features of the materials with which the saddle is made is that it allows the butt to slide around into various positions when they are required during different efforts.

For all the talk about the lack of cushioning that is the obvious first thing people notice about the saddle, it is actually quite comfortable to ride on. The comfort is assured due to the flexibility of the shell which, as you may recall, is a web design.

The downside of the saddle is that it will not last as long as other saddles. In fact the expected life span of the Tioga Spyder saddle that is used on a regular basis is around a year.

The types of Tioga Spyder saddles to choose from include the Twin Tail, the D Spyder and the original Spyder.

2008 Tour de France – Stage 16 Wash-up

Posted by Damo | No Comments »

One of the most difficult days in the Tour and yet again the chance for Team CSC to blow their rivals away passed them by. The solid tempo riding by Andy Schleck and Jens Voigt only really put paid to Christian Vandevelde with Evans, Menchov, Valverde and Kohl all sticking fast up the Restefond. It’s fine to have a strong team – geez, all I’ve been hearing for the last week is Frank Schleck telling anyone who will listen what a strong team CSC is – but if you can’t use that strength to blow away your opposition when it counts then it’s a pointless exercise.

Of course, that could all change up l’Alpe d’Huez. Maybe Team CSC will do what they should have done up the Restefond and orchestrate a series of explosive attacks to put Evans and Menchov into serious difficulty. History shows that Evans can’t handle the kinds of attacks that Contador and Rasmussen hit him with last year. Surely Schleck and Sastre will just have to roll the dice and put it all on the line.

It all went a little pear-shaped for Menchov on the way down to the finish line when he found the descent more difficult than his fellow GC contenders. Losing half a minute on the descent certainly didn’t help his cause. As for Frank Schleck, Bernhard Kohl and Cadel Evans, the status quo remained unchanged with 8 seconds separating them.

As for the criticism that keeps getting piled onto Cadel Evans, his demeanour, his bodyguard, his tactics, it would be nice to see him answer all the done-nothing blowhards the best way possible by walking away with the prize in 5 days time.

Ricco Positive – Saunier Duval Out of 2008 Tour

Posted by Damo | No Comments »

It seems the positives will never end and the disappointments will mount. I sat down tonight to watch the 12th stage of the 2008 Tour de France to find that non-starters for the stage included Ricco, Cobo, Piepoli, De La Fuente, Pou...in fact the entire Saunier Duval team was absent. What the?

I raced over to CyclingNews in time to catch the first news flash. Riccardo Ricco, winner of 2 stages in this year's Tour has tested positive to EPO. Bloody hell, just when an exciting young climber emerges onto the scene and promises all sorts of exciting action in the upcoming Alpine stages, we learn that the guy's just another cheat.

Forget about the clashes between the UCI and ASO, the riders appear to still be doing their best to destroy the sport that's paying their wages.

So Ricco's in police custody, stage 12 got underway today without a Polka Dot Jersey and we're cast back 12 months to the Astana debacle (no Saunier Duval-Scott in next year's Tour after this precedent).

It doesn't seem to matter how much I want to concentrate on and enjoy the racing that's going on, the drug cheats are determined to run it all. Back to the Tour and Cadel Watch is still going well...going well? Can't get much better than Yellow Jersey at the half-way mark, never mind that it's by the barest possible margin. As nice a guy as Frank Schleck is, I'd like him to podium the race but one of the lower steps would be a nice place for him.
