Strida Forum Tips and Techs

Hello everybody my name is Simon fron Chile, the other day a guy was ridding a strida MAS and showed it to me, to my surprise the saddle was completely different but has strida embossed in it, after some investigation, knowing that velo makes the saddles i was able to narrow my search to two models but can’t tell for sure which one is the correct.

Velo vl-3147 or Velo vl-4126

Also in my coutry I have access to a Velo dl31 D2 but it looks different, by the way i have a strida 5.0 modified to SX

Thaks in advance

Hello Simon,

welcome at Stridaforum :smiley:

Sorry, couldn’t find any useful info for the MAS saddle, but I’ll keep looking…

Have a safe ride,

Thanks Chris, maybe knowing the máximum saddle length that the strida can hold can be usefull, the only difference between the two Velo saddles:

Velo vl-3147 Size 272x176 mm
Velo vl-4126 Size 252x174 mm

The original saddle messures 265 mm in length

Thanks

Simon

Gladly Simon :smiley:

I don’t think that length is that much important as rail height:

Thanks Chris that image give me a better idea of the real form of the saddle and what to look for, by the way, it states that it’s not compatible with the quick release seat molding.

Bye

PD. I´ll post the final result of the new saddle.

Considering the rail to nose orientation I do agree fully, but…
…reversed logic - I don’t understand how this saddle can fit the older moldings??

If you’re looking for more comfort, did you also look at Brooks saddles?
Seems that many Striders - all over the world - are totally crazy for Brooks.
