Rope Bridge saddle/w pulley

Straw · 28th July 2009, 01:18 AM

Hi all,

I have been thinking of upgrading my saddle. After looking around I am seeing many new saddles with rope bridges. The descriptions talk about using a pulley on the bridge. Other than a slight bit of added twist radius, I am wondering if there is any real benefit to this set up. Having a micro pulley connecting my saddle seems a little weird to me. Any views anyone has on pro's or con's to this set up would be cool.
Thanks
Straw
