Saddle Speed Dating.

Rapid-fire testing for the saddle curious

Saddle Speed Dating 

Measuring or “Saddle Fitting” for a saddle is a myth created by brands to simplify selling. There are so many nuances with saddles that mean you really do need to just sit on a few to figure out what you like and what you don’t.

Pedalling Perfection has over 150 unique saddles. Our Speed Dating service allows riders to ride on our test jig with rapid saddle changer to test out many saddles back to back.

We do not sell any saddles. This service is entirely impartial. It’s just a chance to try out many different saddles.

We have saddles from Ergon, Cobb, SMP, SQlab, Specialized, PRO, Gebiomized, San Marco, Fizik and Prologo. We don’t have every saddle for each brand but we do have over 150! If you have a specific saddle you wish to try please do contact us ahead of time.

  • We start by taking 4 simple measurements of your bike. Seat height , Seat Tube Angle , Handlebar X and Handlebar Y so we can set up our test jig.

  • We then measure your sit bone spacing using an Ergon Digital Sit bone device.

  • Absolutely. We are very hands off with our bike fitting recommendations during this service. If you haven’t had a bike fit with us yet we’d suggest you start there. ( You can add on Saddle Speed Dating for half price to a Foundation Fit)

  • You might be better off booking our Saddle Clinic which involves Gebiomized saddle pressure mapping.

  • No it doesn’t. This approach is trial and error. For a more accurate assessment we would suggest our Saddle Clinic.
