2 Stars Over Rated
OK…it’s better than a lot out there on the market. But, it still doesn’t stack up to what I usually install on the older road bikes I refurbish & sell. What I usually buy is an Avenir Groove Dual Saddle. I bought one of these at my local K-Mart to save a couple of bucks. I wish I would’ve spent the few extra bucks for the Avenir Saddle. Bottom line…it’s OK, but not great.Avenir Groove Dual Saddle (Black/Grey, Groove Dual (M)) Avenir Groove Dual Saddle (Black/Grey, Groove Dual (W))

5 Stars Comfort and economy – a great combination!
pros: comfortable, standard installation, easy to adjust, inexpensive

cons:

This seat is super comfortable. I had a chance to take a trip on a very uncomfortable saddle recently and have come to appreciate my Schwinn saddle even more. I’ve used it almost daily for my 8 mile (x2) commute since I started biking 3 months ago. I just took it on my first real ride – 33 miles. Toward the end I was experiencing numbness which may have been avoided by moving the front of the saddle down a bit but overall I had a great ride thanks to this saddle! For comparison’s sake I’m height/weight proportionate and wear chamois bike shorts when I ride. I have virtually no rear end, so I need all the cushioning I can get!

I can see where durability may be an issue in a year or two or five, but I’m willing to deal with the minor hassle of buying a new saddle sooner should that happen.

4 Stars great for cloth and price
Absolutely great once I got it adjusted properly. I ride about 10 miles commuting every day of the week. It’s cloth so it absorbs water in the rain. But that’s really my own complaint. It’s quite comfortable and very good for my back once I figure out where I needed it to be. For the price(!) I would highly recommend it… Very good value.

4 Stars Nice seat, but I still got a little sore.
We went on a 17 mile downhill bike ride with my new seat. Its very comfortable & soft but I still got a little sore, but soreness did not last long. But I still think it is a nice comfortable seat.

4 Stars Soft but small
This bike seat is very soft and well made. The reasone I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is due to the width of the seat. For larger riders this seat is very narrow. I found the stock seat on my Schwinn Ridge AL bike to be more comfortable.

1 Star BAD SEAT
This seat is NOT comfortable AT ALL, its not soft at all, its got a wierd design. Kinda disspaointed.

The seat is someone soft but the design of the seat is what makes it uncomfortable to me, and i don’t like the looks of it…

After using if for a little while it feels a little better but i still wouldn’t recommend this.

5 Stars excellent product
I bought 2 of these to replace the stock seats on my friend and I’s bikes. With the seats that came on the bikes it was simply too painful to be worth the effort. So I came across this seat and I really must say it is GREAT. It’s wider than your average seat and comfortable. It’s soft but not too soft. We have no discomfort during or after our rides now.

3 Stars Nut came off
There is a stud for each big spring in the rear. These springs are held to the seat by a nut on the stud. One of these nuts came off (who knows when?). I got the seat in August 2008 and noticed the nut gone Feb 5th (yes I commute on my bike to work through the winter). It dosnt seem to want to accept a new nut – the stud just keeps spinning and it wont tighten up. As ong as the other nut stays there, I guess it still works but… (pun intended).

4 Stars Good seat for the price range
Bought a bicycle recently, and knew that replacing the stock seat would be a must. So after a little research, I found this product, and was willing to “experiment” for the $15 dollars or so it cost.

Overall quite comfortable as long as you are sitting on it properly. No it’s not an armchair, but it’s certainly better than the stock seat.

5 Stars Awesome bike seat!!
We bought two of these bike seats for our Tandem bike. I just want to say I love it. My husband and I have written on our bike several times for at least an hour and I have not felt any pain on my rear bottom which I can not say about other bike seats, esp., the original seat that came on the Tandem bike. My husband though said he did not like it and went back to using the original seat on the bike. I like it and will continue to use it in the future and plan to give the other one to my sister to use on her bike.

2 Stars Schwinn No Pressure Bicycle Seat
Excellent transaction and delivery time. Seat is comfortable but there was difficulty to stabilize seat – pivoting up and down. It would need a support bracket under the seat attached to the saddle post.

3 Stars Schwinn No Pressure Bicycle Seat
I had difficulty getting used to mine and actually replaced it with the original bike seat.I found controlling the bike uneasy and could not seem to get it adjusted properly. My wife really likes hers though.

5 Stars New Seat For Schwinn Airdyne Stationary Bike
This is a great improvement over the original seat which was somewhat too firm and not comfortable after riding bike for over 30 minutes.

This seat has a great shape and provides both good stability and comfort.

Highly recommned it to anyone needing more comfort while exercising.

4 Stars Little small seat
Seat was comfortable, cushy and keeps me upright during my exercise routines. Worked great on the Schwinn 131 I bought for Christmas. My wife on the other hand could never get used to not having the separation wedge between her legs and felt off balance during her routines. This became a constant sore point, so I eventually returned the bike seat to Amazon and got my money back. Only wish the shipping fee was less considering the price of the seat. I would recommend this seat to any MALE out there.

2 Stars Seat small for adults
This seat was too small for me, an adult of 6 ft and 150 lbs. I could not position it for comfort because of the size. I do not recommend it for the average adult.
