@@samsepiol7080 Thank You I’ll check them out. Neil just recently posted a video about a new bike he purchased on the used market. He emphasized on several occasions that he was happy to have a zero offset seat post and how he wanted to slide his saddle forward. He sounded so excited about it and I was like WTF. I made several comments on that video because the last thing I want to do as a bike fitter is use a zero offset seat post and move people forward on their saddles. it compromises the weight distribution on the bike puts excess pressure on the hands and compromises handling, especially when descending down a twisty mountain. In other words, I’m already at odds with Neil and his fitting philosophy, so I’m pretty sure I’m going to disagree with his reasoning on why he recommends, an active saddle versus a non-active saddle. Honestly, his smugness and his attitude bugs me a little. He sounds like a know it all and yet there are plenty of holes in his theories. But I will give those links you share with me a look. I can always learn something, even if it’s how not to do some thing wrong

I’ve used SQ labs for several years and now have them on four bikes. I use the 15 cm width. I tell people I notice it feels different than other saddles for the first few pedal strokes but then forget about it no matter how long a ride. I also found the active version uncomfortable and don’t use those either.

Hi George, I enjoyed your presentation about SQLab saddles. Based on it I bought in April a non-active 612 saddle to be installed on a Merida Speeder 400 bike. And yes, it is a really great saddle: very comfortable, absolutely no pressure on buttocks and the genital area. I've enjoyed every minutes ridden on... until now. I'd like to highlight a design issue of the saddle. Mostly the saddles (either cheap or expensive) are created with a rail support from the nose to the end. This 612 saddle has no support in its nose, about 3-4 cm reinforcement is missing. What a 'cheapjack' saving for the manufacturer. Because of it my saddle nose cracked there. Its lifetime was about 600 kms only. I don't know what happened with it - I didn't fall with my bike, it wasn't overloaded (I'm 75 kg) - I have theories only. So I'm very disappointed with the result, had to install the original Merida Comp SL saddle back my bike on. I feel the difference unfortunately but I won't buy SQLab again, I'll try Ergon SR Pro Men instead. Available in similar price as 612 and I hope I will feel the same advantages in performance and comfort. So, it is my 'sad' story, I don't know I'm alone or was similar experienced by someone else. Anyway... for me it was waste of money but it wasn't your fault, of course. I wish you the best. Greetings from Hungary 🙂

You say you recommend this saddle to all riders, even heavy ones. Maybe our definition of heavy differs slightly but this saddle has a rider weight limit of 90kg/198lbs - that's pretty ridiculous, especially since that's gross rider weight (rider + gear + stuff in pockets) and it's static - meaning when you ride over bumpy terrain that limit reduces rider weight even further. I was tempted to give it a try but I'd rather not risk it.

You are correct I recommend the saddle to all riders - both genders, all ages and sizes. I don’t get riders over 250 lbs in my shop that often anyway. Cycling in this area is very unforgiving for heavier riders. Nothing but hills here - length and grade. Easy to ride 100 ft per mile - 50 milers with 5,000 feet is easy. SQ Lab Saddle is a German company. I truly believe they are running themselves safe by providing that 90 kg weight limit. Here’s a personal anecdote, which is by no means representative of what SQ Lab Saddle recommends. About 4 years ago I ran over a carbon railed 612 saddle with the right rear tire of my minivan which arguably weighs close to 4000 pounds. There was no damage and I’m still riding that saddle today. (A customer had demoed the saddle and was returning it while we were out riding. The customer placed the saddle on the right rear tire since the shop was locked up and I am a one man shop. When I drove away later that day I had completely forgotten it was there) You do you if you feel the saddle won’t support you then follow the SQ Lab recommendations.

@@SeeYouUpTheRoad hey George, just sending this here incase you didn’t get my text this am. Could you please change out the 12 for a 15cm saddle if it isn’t to late. I thought I chose the 15 option, but maybe didn’t click on it for whatever reason. Thanks again.
