Subject: problem with saddle


Hi all,

I have a problem with my saddle. My RD04 is now about 5 years old and
therefore the original saddle, which was never the best, got very bad. I
can't seat for more than 3 hours on it. A few weeks ago, I bought from
Goetz the @-saddle-kit and mounted it, but this kit is very hard and the
style is not too good (for example: in the front part it's much to
wide). I know, that there are the corbin-saddles, which look very
comfortable, but these saddles are very expensive and I don't trust,
whether they are as good as they are looking.
My question is: How can I get a good and likely comfortable saddle for
my @ ? Have you good experiences with corbin-saddles ? Where can I get
these saddles ? Or is it possible to make changes to the Goetz-Kit, so
that this Kit gets more comfortable ? Are there other possibilities or
solutions ?
The other question is, how to mount the cover of the saddle. I used a
Clip-machine ? (Tacker), but I am afraid, that the plastic of the saddle
breaks after the second or third cover-mounting with clips. Are there
other possibilities ?

I hope, you can give me some hints to solve myy seating-problem.
It's not very nice to go on tour, if the bottom hurts.

Thanks for your help.

Klaus
