3D-Printed Saddles: Fizik Antares Versus Evo vs Fizik Vento Argo Adaptive vs S-Works Romin Mirror vs S-Works Power Mirror

Image
  Road bike saddles are subjective.  Tons of factors impact  comfort -- w eight, height, body proportions, tailbone structure, fitness level, style of riding, bike frame, fit, geometry, wheels, tire size / pressure, etc.   Even small changes in a saddle angle, position, and seatpost height can turn the best riding saddle into the worst and visa versa.    To provide an objective comparison, I tested three 3D-printed saddles on the same bike with the same wheels, tires, and fit.  Here are the parameters: Rider weight: 230 lbs (approx.104 kg) Rider flexibility: average Miles per year: 5,000 Climbing per year: 300,000 ft Bike: Pinarello Dogma F12 Disc Wheels: Zipp 404 Firecrest  Tires: Schwalbe Pro One Evo 28mm tubeless - 65-70 psi Test terrain: Mixed - from very smooth to decent asphalt to severely broken asphalt to gravel to offroad / double track MTB road  All four saddles took a good amount of road vibrations out and made the road sm...

Pinarello Dogma F12 Disc Review -- 4,000 miles @ Sea Otter Classic 2022

Image
I could have written yet another review on how great and dividing F12 looks, analyzing the curves, and comparing its aerodynamics and characteristics to other bikes.   But that has been done many times already.   Instead, I ma going to write about my impressions from a recent Gran Fondo, especially since I have ridden 4,000 miles on this bike at this point. So here we go.  I am an XL rider, weighing 230 lbs.  And here is my story. April 9, 2022.  Sea Otter Classic 2022.  GranFondo Carmelo.  Mile 24 of 92.  I have been riding for a little over an hour.  After a slow mass start, I have been passing most of people on my way.  I don't feel tired a bit.  It almost feels like the bike is riding itself.  It is not the lightest bike, but the aero and asymmetric design helps the bike to slice through the wind.  Every bit of my effort seems to go into the forward motion.  The first rest stop is coming up.  I refl...

Specialized S-Works Roubaix - 1,500 Mile Review

Image
Third Fourth time is the charm.  After trying three different Roubaix models over the last 5 years, I finally found the one I really like. 2018 Specialized S-Works Roubaix has become my favorite bike.  It has a perfect balance between speed and comfort.  It is very easy to live with.  It goes fast when you push it.  It feels very light.  It is to get going.  It rolls nicely when you want to go slow.  It climbs well without punishing you.  It descends really nicely too. Compare Roubaix with my Pinarello Dogma K8s Disc.  Pinarello is more aerodynamic.  It absolutely flies when pushed.  It descends with unmatched precision.  It feels like a race bike.  However, it fights you when want to go slow.  It is harder to get going in a more comfortable tempo.  It begs you to go fast,  which is good for many days, but if you want alternating paces, Roubaix is clearly the bike of choice! My 2018 S-Works...
