ISM saddles
Is anyone here using one on their road bike and if so how do you like it and which model?

Yes. I have the original version which I like, and a later one which doesn't seem to agree with me. However the later one has a different sit point which I didn't know so I need to adjust the saddle fore/aft to place the sit point where I want it.
Original version (my bike): The version that I have to adjust (my other bike): A forum member here is part of ISM, if not "ISM". |

Had an ism prologue on my bike, liked it but replaced it with a Spec Power. Considering putting the ism on my other bike

I have one sitting around somewhere. Didn't agree with my sit bones. They do have a ton of fore/aft with the long rails and seem to be well made, but I couldn't find a comfortable spot while riding on it.

I've used the Road and Race models and they've been the best saddles I've tried. I could tell a difference immediately that my weight was all on my sit bones and apparently hadn't been on previous saddles.
I also tried the Podium and I think another model, but those felt different and I think it's because they're more flat front to back. The Road and Race models have a bit of a drop from the back to the arms. Last edited by brockd15; 03-17-2017 at 01:07 PM. |

Let me add that I tried an ISM saddle while on a fit bike / GURU thing. The fitter doesn't sell the saddles but suggested I try his saddle based on my position. Told me I should get one off eBay if I liked it.
I didn't think much of it at the moment. I went home and went to get on my SLR saddle. I literally got off the bike in a few seconds, scoured eBay instead of riding, and ordered a saddle right there and then. I didn't ride again until the saddle came in. So it may not feel "great" at first but it definitely makes things more comfy. I'll call it "never a pain". Disadvantages? It weighs a lot, at least compared to a carbon railed SLR. |
