Thanks. I tested out an Arione a couple of days ago and it didn't like my butt, or vice-versa. I've ordered a Terry Falcon Y saddle. I believe I need the cutout to keep personal equipment happy and healthy. Terry has a good love it or return it policy so I'll give it a good try.

Never use carbon rails and also the Thompson seatposts have a larger clamp area. My favorite saddle for CX is the Fizik Arione modified like this- <a href="http://plusonelap.blogspot.com/2007/10/cheap-weight-tip-9-custom-arione-saddle.html" target="_blank">http://plusonelap.blogspot.com/2007/10/cheap-weight-tip-9-custom-arione-saddle.html</a><br />

Real easy to do with a jig saw, dremmel tool and some contact cement

I wouldn't worry about changing companies. Saddles are personal, if the Aliante works for you don't change a good thing. But, as everyone else has said, ditch the carbon rails for CX!

I have been successful with the Original Flight saddle for 10years now and i am 220.... and not overly graceful... yeah Carbon on seat-posts, bars and stems are a recipe for disaster maybe not in the first 5 races, but a cracked seat-post in the MABRA championships in the mud was a total buzz kill!!!!

i think there are some spots that carbon is just not a good idea and seat rails on a cross bike are it! to much load on very small rail clamps. i have busted and SLR with hollow Ti rails.<br />

I have busted 2 carbon rail Aliante saddles on the road. But have used them Aliante sport for cross with the plastic top and metal rails without problems.
