Re: [RC] Pads for Treeless/Torsion question - Lucy Trumbull

Toklat will do anything you want.  One of their 
standard pad versions is a velcro opening so that 
you can put in inserts.


Yes, I have one of these - but the ad on the Sportack site
specifically says that they don't do inserts for this
particular new "high-profile" Toklat pad.

The only thing I can figure is that they haven't yet 
gotten around to making this pad with velco-pockets, 
or cutting the inserts to fit. I can't see why inserts
wouldn't work, so maybe it's just a matter of time?

Speaking of Torsion saddles - has anyone done any 
serious mileage in both a Sportsaddle and a Torsion,
and can compare the two (pros and cons of each)?

The biggest pro for the Torsion seems to be how short 
it is front-to-back. Anything else? Is the riding 
position more "english" than the SS? I'm guessing you
have more swing in the stirrups than with a SS? Has
anyone had problems with pressure points from where
the stirrups are hung on the Torsion?

(Not, of course, that I *need* another saddle... but...
well...you know...    <g>)
