[QUOTE="SacramentoMike, post: 1369835, member: 11508"] For airflow under your butt (which you don't really feel, but it actually does ventilate you and save some sweat buildup at the end of the day), I liked the Bead Rider very much. Doesn't look like it would be comfortable, but it is, and you can slide around on it, which I don't think you can do much on the two you're considering--and I do like to move on my seat on the curves. I had one of the original wooden ones for many thousands of miles and thought it was great. It finally started coming apart (like five years of riding later) and I replaced it with one of the newer ones with ceramic beads. If you leave your bike in the sun, that damn thing heats up like a hotplate and takes forever to cool down. It's in a box in my garage. If you want to consider this option--definitely go for the wooden bead model--it's cheaper, too. I'd see if you could borrow one of any or all of what you're considering if at all possible. Just long enough to know if you like the feel of it. [/QUOTE]
