[QUOTE="garyahouse, post: 1161986, member: 20946"] I have a Sargent as well. Sometimes, it just has a lot to do with how you sit on it. Sounds dumb, but as you know, you can slide forward and backward a bit on just about any seat. Even left/right when ya get desperate. Ever hear of the "Yoda" riding position? Has to do with posture. Sitting up straight, head back, shoulders back, push that tummy forward, straighten up that spine... that works wonders for me. I tend to hunch when I'm not thinking about it. Oddly enough, it also affects how my but feels. However, that said, you cannot compare a Sargent, a Corbin, or any other off the shelf seat to a RDL or a Laamb for that matter. The failure wasn't the seat. It's just that it works for some, and not for others. Shorter trip? No problemo. But after mucho hours in the saddle, there's no substitute for the best. Costs big $$, but ya gotta ask yourself, is being able to forget about your sore butt worth it to you? Good luck w/ yer decision. Gary darksider #44 [/QUOTE]
