play00:38

get yourself a 3D printed saddle and all

play00:41

your cycling discomfort problems will be

play00:43

solved it seems to be the hype at the

play00:45

moment doesn't at the 3D printed saddle

play00:47

well at least the cycling industry would

play00:50

like you to think that way you can buy

play00:52

them from AliExpress fugo Amazon eBay

play00:56

plus all your usual online bicycle parts

play00:59

sellers so surely with such an abundance

play01:02

there must be something in it they must

play01:03

be able to solve your saddle problems

play01:06

well we all know the best way to try out

play01:07

a saddle for you to see if it's any good

play01:09

is take off your old saddle from your

play01:11

bike put on the new saddle in exactly

play01:13

the same position and go for a long

play01:28

ride if the Settles comfortable bang

play01:31

you're on a winner you've got the right

play01:32

saddle if not well you're going to have

play01:34

to try another one try another one and

play01:37

try another one and keep on trying and

play01:39

so you're on a merry go round trying all

play01:41

these different Saddles not only that

play01:43

you're spending lots of money so what do

play01:45

you do well hopefully in this video

play01:47

we're going to narrow that field right

play01:48

down for you before you even need to

play01:50

commit to buy so let's get on with it

play01:53

well there are quite a few brand named

play01:55

settle manufacturers like specialize

play01:57

physique sellia and a few others and

play02:00

they put quite a bit of research and

play02:01

development into the 3D printed saddle

play02:04

and that's why their price tends to be

play02:07

significantly higher than your standard

play02:09

saddle but there are also copies out

play02:12

there on the market copies of not only

play02:14

those brand name ones but a lot of

play02:16

variations thereof some of those

play02:18

variations are very very good and the

play02:20

best thing about it is those variations

play02:23

are a lot cheaper than the brand name

play02:24

ones well you might reason just buy a

play02:27

brand name 3D printed saddle the price

play02:29

might be higher but at least it's going

play02:31

to fit you like a glove well that's also

play02:33

not necessarily so and the reason is the

play02:36

3D printed padded part is only like the

play02:39

top layer this top layer with the foam

play02:42

underneath the padding underneath but

play02:44

that sits on the hard plastic or carbon

play02:47

fiber bit the shell now if you like me

play02:51

none of those brand names make any

play02:52

models that fit me so I had to look

play02:55

elsewhere anyhow and so I looked to the

play02:57

other variations available on the market

play02:59

and I found this so This saddle is from

play03:02

AliExpress and the brand name is Riot R

play03:05

ye T and it was extremely cheap so I

play03:08

thought I'd have a look at the reviews

play03:10

and all the reviews were glowing really

play03:12

good so I took the

play03:16

plunge the weight of this Riot seat is

play03:19

150 g to give you an idea how light that

play03:23

is the cardboard box and the minimal

play03:25

amount of packaging that this seat came

play03:27

in weighs 126

play03:31

G now the first thing you might notice

play03:33

about 3D settle compared to your

play03:35

standard settle is it's got holes in it

play03:37

the surface is perforated so that can

play03:40

mean two things first of all there's

play03:42

more air flow underneath because you got

play03:44

holes there so more air means a drier

play03:47

shammy means less chafing so that's one

play03:50

big plus however having holes can also

play03:53

mean in wet weather when there water and

play03:55

of course in the water is dirt flicking

play03:57

up and getting onto the seat it can mean

play03:59

that dirt can build up inside those

play04:01

holes now over time it may do so you can

play04:04

tip your bike on the side or upside down

play04:06

and give it a squirt with water and let

play04:08

the dirt run out it won't hurt the 3D

play04:10

settle padding and and it will dry out

play04:13

and then you'll be right the most

play04:14

important part of the seat which you're

play04:16

going to be looking for is the shell the

play04:19

underneath it not only provides the

play04:21

foundation for the material to glue onto

play04:23

and for your rails to connect but it is

play04:26

the shape of your seat the shell gives

play04:29

it its shape and it's the shape that

play04:31

dictates the Comfort if the shape of the

play04:33

shell is not right for you then no

play04:35

matter what else you do it's still not

play04:37

going to be comfortable so here's three

play04:39

Saddles I know I cannot ride the

play04:41

physique one here it's like whether it's

play04:43

diamond or triangular sort of shape that

play04:45

is definitely uncomfortable for me the

play04:48

cellia with its long nose and then all

play04:50

of a sudden it comes out right here and

play04:52

then goes back very quickly and whatever

play04:55

else it's it's a bit better but it's

play04:57

still I can't ride with it more than 60

play04:59

km

play05:00

and then this is specialized same sort

play05:02

of thing it might be wide enough but

play05:04

it's got a its shape is not right it's

play05:07

too wide before it slopes off anyway

play05:09

we'll talk about that a minute so either

play05:11

of these Saddles all three of them

play05:13

definitely not comfortable for me

play05:15

whereas the 3D printed saddle that I got

play05:17

is nothing like those three Saddles but

play05:20

it is like the other seats that I ride

play05:22

on my bikes second most important aspect

play05:24

of your shell is the width of the seat

play05:26

goes from the widest part of the seat to

play05:28

the widest part so just get a measure

play05:31

and go straight across there the most

play05:33

common size is 143 however there are

play05:36

wider ones and there are narrower as

play05:38

well so get your width correct if you're

play05:41

not sure what width of seat you should

play05:43

take then watch this video here I'll put

play05:45

the link in the description and that'll

play05:47

help you determine what width seat is

play05:49

best for

play05:51

you next is how flat or round your seat

play05:53

is all it means if you put a straight

play05:55

rule across your seat across there like

play05:58

that

play06:00

what is the curve like here with this

play06:03

seat you can see the curve goes off

play06:05

really quickly it's curving all the way

play06:07

almost from the center just out from the

play06:10

center it starts curving off really

play06:12

quickly this one here however you can

play06:15

see it stays flat for a long time before

play06:18

it starts to gradually curve off it's

play06:20

not till it's way out here before it

play06:22

starts to drop off quite significantly

play06:24

so this one what is what I'd call a flat

play06:26

saddle and this one is what I would call

play06:29

A round saddle so you might find the

play06:32

rounder shape more comfortable or a

play06:34

flatter shape more comfortable or

play06:36

somewhere in between and here's my 3D

play06:38

printed sadle it's sort of somewhere in

play06:42

between next is the perenium or

play06:45

perennial cutout that's the hole in the

play06:47

middle if it's not a hole then it might

play06:49

be just a channel like this

play06:52

one either way the seat has usually got

play06:55

them today now this one is a large one

play06:57

it's quite large at the back and it's

play06:59

quite long overall it's a big large

play07:02

cutout in the middle so it doesn't leave

play07:04

much surface seat to actually sit on for

play07:07

the rest of your body it's a big cutout

play07:09

whereas this one is a small cutout you

play07:12

can see the surface area on the seat

play07:14

it's a lot more for you to sit on than

play07:16

there is with this one so you might find

play07:18

the seat with the large cutouts more

play07:20

comfortable than the smaller cutouts or

play07:22

vice

play07:23

versa there's a few other things you

play07:25

could consider about the perenium cutout

play07:27

like how the rollof is on the side sides

play07:29

if it's sharp or is it soft or is it

play07:32

firm but we won't go into detail about

play07:34

that if you get it close enough to the

play07:36

seat that you already have then you

play07:37

should be pretty much right personally

play07:39

with the 3D SLE I've got I've gone for

play07:42

not too long and not too wide sort of in

play07:44

between if you're not sure about

play07:45

perenium relief Channel what fits you

play07:47

then just go for something like this in

play07:49

between next is the width of the nose

play07:52

here's a wide nose and here's a narrower

play07:55

nose now if you do have trouble with

play07:58

your thighs catching on the side and you

play08:00

need a narrower nose you'll already know

play08:02

about that from previously writing so

play08:04

having wider thighs then you'll need a

play08:06

narrower nose seat if it doesn't worry

play08:08

you then you could probably get away

play08:09

with either the narrow or a wider nose

play08:12

for me I've never had a problem with

play08:13

narrow or wide nose Saddles so I've just

play08:15

gone for that one it's fairly wide but

play08:18

not overly if you find a wide nose sadle

play08:20

doesn't worry you check inside the

play08:22

inside leg of your Nicks it might be

play08:24

worn away or on the inside of the seat

play08:27

here you might have wear marks you don't

play08:29

know but it's actually wearing on The

play08:30

Wider nose so you might be better off

play08:32

with a slightly narrower nose seat even

play08:35

if you don't feel the discomfort it

play08:37

could be wearing away your Nicks or the

play08:39

side of your seat and then there's the

play08:41

Shell's flexibility plastic seats or

play08:44

glass fiber seats tend to be more

play08:46

flexible like this one you can see it

play08:48

flexes quite well whereas a carbon fiber

play08:51

shell like this one doesn't matter how

play08:54

hard you press you can hardly move it so

play08:56

they tend to be a lot harder now this

play08:59

this one that I've got the 3D printed

play09:01

saddle is carbon fiber underneath that's

play09:04

why it's so light but it does have some

play09:08

flexibility now it may not have it in

play09:10

the description when you buy the seat

play09:11

because flexibility is something that

play09:13

quite often is not advertised so

play09:15

sometimes it might be a bit of a gamble

play09:17

however generally carbon fiber is a

play09:19

stiffer shell than a plastic or a glass

play09:21

fiber shell so why consider flexibility

play09:25

because if you ride mostly on rough

play09:26

terrain then you'd be better off with a

play09:28

softer sh

play09:29

that way it acts like suspension it'll

play09:31

absorb more vibration and you won't find

play09:33

it so harsh and fatiguing on your

play09:36

backside whereas if you ride on normal

play09:39

smooth rows or on the vrone then it

play09:41

won't matter you can go for a hard

play09:43

carbon fiber saddle this one that we got

play09:46

the 3D printed saddle that's sort of

play09:48

halfway in between it's carbon fiber but

play09:49

it does have some

play09:52

flexibility now with the rails

play09:54

underneath your seat there is one

play09:55

important thing you need to consider and

play09:57

it's to do with your seat clamp not all

play09:59

seat clamps take carbon fiber rails for

play10:03

instance this is a steel or actually

play10:04

it's Chromo Rail and if you to measure

play10:07

the diameter all the way around it's 7

play10:09

mm and that's the standard size so

play10:12

that'll fit any seat clamp however with

play10:15

carbon fiber you measure this way and

play10:17

it's seven but you measure it this way

play10:20

or this way however way you want to do

play10:22

it and it's 9 mm so it's oval shaped and

play10:28

that won't fit the 9 mm is too big for

play10:30

most of the standard clamps 7x7 so

play10:33

you'll need to either purchase another

play10:35

seat post with the correct clamp or the

play10:37

clamp fitting so that fits the 7x9

play10:40

carbon fiber rails so if you go for a

play10:42

carbon fiber railed seat because it's

play10:44

light and it looks cool and you go and

play10:46

put it on your normal seat clamp and you

play10:48

put too much pressure on or it's the

play10:50

wrong size it only takes a 7x7 you don't

play10:53

want to crack those carbon fiber

play10:56

rails having a look at the rails on this

play10:58

right seat it has a numbered scale on

play11:01

the right hand rail very handy when

play11:03

needing to move the seat forward or back

play11:06

by small increments and has plenty of

play11:09

rail to move back and forth is about the

play11:11

same or more than a cotell SLR and a PR

play11:15

logo the distance between the rail and

play11:17

the top of the seat is noteworthy too

play11:20

the riot is 35 mm tall this specialized

play11:24

is 45 mm tall this means that the seat

play11:28

poost will need to go up 10 mm if you're

play11:32

going from the specialized seat to the

play11:34

riot the carbon fiber workmanship on

play11:36

this RI seat is really really nice the

play11:39

two rear interfaces for the rail to the

play11:42

shell look very solid and the front

play11:44

looks very sleek and well made now

play11:47

because this Riot seat is about a

play11:49

quarter of the price of a name brand

play11:51

seat there's bound to be some

play11:52

imperfections I spotted a very small pin

play11:55

hole on the left side of the shell and

play11:58

another very small dent on the right

play12:00

hand side and a very small spillage of

play12:03

glue on the right hand skirting I'm sure

play12:06

these are nothing to worry about but if

play12:07

you were paying $400 Plus for a seat you

play12:10

would expect

play12:12

Perfection having a closer look at the

play12:14

3D printed layer on top of the shell it

play12:17

looks the same all the way along and it

play12:19

feels fairly consistent on light touch

play12:22

however if you have a very close look at

play12:23

the pattern on the squares or the holes

play12:26

or circles whatever you want to call the

play12:27

pattern from the back to the front it

play12:29

does vary as you go past your SE bones

play12:33

along the perenium relief and into the

play12:36

nose it is different all the way along

play12:39

and you can feel the difference too if

play12:40

you start pressing your finger in on the

play12:42

back of the seat from here it's very

play12:46

soft and you go forward especially

play12:49

around the sit bone area it becomes

play12:51

fairly

play12:52

firm and as you go along the nose area

play12:54

it's still fairly firm until you get

play12:57

close up to round about the end of that

play12:59

relief Channel and it starts to go soft

play13:01

to very soft at the end so there is a

play13:04

difference in the firmness of the

play13:06

padding from side to side starts off

play13:08

fairly firm firm and it goes a little

play13:12

bit sof around where the sit bones

play13:14

are and then that's about it and it goes

play13:17

back to firm again toward the end now

play13:19

every settle's a little bit different

play13:21

where the exact pressure areas are firm

play13:23

and soft areas are where you could

play13:26

probably feel it and draw a little map

play13:27

if you really so inclined

play13:29

but we have fa that these people who

play13:31

make these Saddles know what the fir

play13:34

where the firm and the soft areas should

play13:36

be and you'll soon know when you ride it

play13:39

as well one thing to look for and you

play13:41

can usually only tell from pictures on

play13:42

the sites is if your shell is sticking

play13:44

out further than the cushioning on the

play13:46

sides if it sticks out too much then

play13:49

your necks or your legs are going to rub

play13:51

on the harder plastic or carbon fiber

play13:53

rather than on the cushioning so make

play13:56

sure that the edge of the shell doesn't

play13:58

stick out further than the cushioning so

play14:00

that'll apply of course where your legs

play14:01

go past the seat you don't want chafing

play14:04

or your necks being shredded a Pieces

play14:05

Just because there's a little bit of

play14:07

plastic sticking

play14:10

out and my seat post has the typical 7

play14:13

mm clamp for the rails and so the hole

play14:17

for the rails is round the seat post

play14:20

also came with the 9 mm clamp there it

play14:22

is 7x9 and so it makes the hole oval

play14:26

shaped just perfect for the carbon rail

play14:29

seat seat on do up the seat clamp bolt

play14:33

so that the seat can tilt but it stays

play14:35

where I put it so the bolts not too firm

play14:37

and not too loose using my sit bone

play14:40

template it's a very handy tool because

play14:42

on any seat you can pretty much

play14:44

instantly Mark exactly where your sit

play14:46

bones are going to be if you'd like to

play14:48

check it out for yourself make one for

play14:50

yourself check out diy9 video bike fit

play14:53

tool make it yourself so now I know

play14:56

exactly where the center of my sit bone

play14:58

is going to be on the

play15:01

seat before removing your old seat and

play15:03

putting on the new seat measure the

play15:05

height length and tilt from your sit

play15:08

bone point or maybe you already have

play15:10

these measurements written down here I'm

play15:12

transferring the measurements from my

play15:14

YOLO R12 to the R11 because the R11 is

play15:17

going to have the new seat on it from

play15:20

that sit bone Point measuring the height

play15:22

and the length you can use a tape

play15:24

measure or a dedicated sizing transfer

play15:27

tool like this

play15:31

chances are you won't have one of those

play15:33

tools so to measure the Tilt you can

play15:35

just use a straight piece of metal and

play15:38

measure from The Handlebar to the bottom

play15:40

of that piece of

play15:41

metal for a very accurate measurement of

play15:44

tilt you can use this tilt tool and you

play15:47

can make it yourself that same video

play15:49

will show you how and if you haven't

play15:51

already don't forget to record your

play15:53

vital measurements height length and the

play15:56

tilt

play15:59

so transferring those measurements over

play16:01

to the YOLO R11 which has the new Riot

play16:03

3D seat the tool is showing the seat is

play16:07

too low by about a CM which is because

play16:09

the rot seat is about 10 mm lower in

play16:12

profile than the previous seat so

play16:15

lifting the seat post by about 10

play16:18

mil and now the tool says everything's

play16:21

pretty much spot

play16:22

on finally getting the tilt of the new

play16:25

seat the same as the tilt on the other

play16:27

bike

play16:30

too high knock the seat down a

play16:33

bit measure again getting closer but

play16:37

still a bit too high on the

play16:40

nose another measure and the nose is

play16:43

still a fraction too high so we'll knock

play16:45

it very

play16:48

gently and I've gone too far so have to

play16:50

go a little bit

play16:52

back I'm letting this carry on a bit

play16:54

because it's very important to have your

play16:56

tilt exactly right

play17:03

finally got it

play17:05

right so tighten those bolts up make

play17:08

sure they're the right torque and we're

play17:09

done and ready to

play17:19

ride so here we go first ride with the

play17:22

3D settle and I put the camera on the

play17:24

back as

play17:26

well lost the Sprint

play17:29

not very often that

play17:30

happens young

play17:33

play17:49

play17:51

about it

play17:53

yet these people that say that you can't

play17:55

move on your seat cuz it's sticky no

play17:58

problems moving so I don't know what

play18:00

they're on about maybe their necks are

play18:02

sticky here's the motor bike here's our

play18:06

Pacer by the time we get home the well

play18:08

play18:26

84k today Sunday ride

play18:29

not bad and no problem whatsoever

play18:33

lovely more than happy with it actually

play18:35

I was expecting some something or at

play18:38

least would I'd need to adjust something

play18:40

at very first I thought oh I'm going

play18:42

have to put the nose down I could feel

play18:43

the nose a little bit at the very

play18:45

beginning of the ride but during the

play18:47

ride not so uh and the whole ride

play18:50

beautiful really really nice so very

play18:55

happy we are second ride on the 3D seat

play19:00

new so we do 103k today no climbing much

play19:04

about 200 M that's about it this will be

play19:06

the true test that's the halfway stop

play19:10

now

play19:16

53k there we go 102 k and just over 300

play19:21

M climbing very flat course today so

play19:24

that's the way you test a seat very flat

play19:26

course when you don't get off your seat

play19:28

much anyway way oh it's in the shadow

play19:30

there you go everything's fine no

play19:33

problems even more a different pair of

play19:34

necks just in case it's good to wear a

play19:36

different pair of Nicks cuz some Nicks

play19:38

feel different than others so John

play19:40

Holland and they sell tractors or

play19:46

something the

play19:48

seat here we go there you go it's

play19:52

staying on this bike now so it's

play19:54

replacing the other SE I like it so much

play19:56

that it's got a permanent home

play19:59

this is about I don't know I've lost

play20:00

counting now seven or E ride now with

play20:02

the

play20:03

seat here they

play20:05

come

play20:14

up so in conclusion if you just remember

play20:17

two main things first of all get a seat

play20:19

that is close enough in shape to your

play20:22

favorite seats I've got a few favorite

play20:24

ones they're not all the same band or

play20:25

the same model they're different but

play20:27

nevertheless they're shaped is very very

play20:29

similar and I know they're comfortable

play20:31

for me and that's why they're on my

play20:32

bikes so the 3D suit I bought as close

play20:35

as I could to the shapes on my other

play20:37

ones so get a shape that's close as you

play20:39

can to your favorite seat secondly is

play20:42

always have the measurement exactly the

play20:44

same so if you're riding a road bike

play20:46

then measure your road bike your tilt

play20:48

your length and your height exactly the

play20:50

same as your other road bike and your

play20:52

other one and your other one and your

play20:54

other one actually I tell a lie the

play20:56

gravel bike is slightly smaller than the

play20:58

road bike I ride a seat slightly lower

play21:00

and a head stem slightly shorter as well

play21:02

but that's the gravel bike but all my

play21:04

road bikes all the measurements are

play21:06

identical and remember more money does

play21:08

not equal more Comfort it may buy you a

play21:11

lighter seat but money has nothing to do

play21:14

with comfort in fact I've got a $12 seat

play21:16

over here this one here it's a Vader

play21:19

from AliExpress $12 I got that about 2

play21:22

years ago I've been riding it for so

play21:24

long and I love it it's a really

play21:25

comfortable seat best value for money

play21:27

seat that's it keep riding and we'll see

play21:29

you soon
