Re: [RC] Saddle Research Projects - Robert Ferrand
Truman,
Very Good, saddle research project. However,
Do any of these saddle FIT? If the
saddle does
Fit, how did the owner find the
saddle? If the saddle does not Fit, why did they buy the
saddle?
You may wish to notify the participants in your saddle
survey that a Saddle
Fit Database has been established, using a powerful Oracle
9i database, to answer question: Do any saddles "FIT"? Having
conducted your saddle survey with 300+ participants and one question, you will
appreciate this new saddle research with dozens of questions, is such a
complicated research effort it requires an Oracle database to handle the
large amount of data.
The
goal of the Saddle
Fit Databaseis
to gather a cross section of both positive and negative Saddle Fitting
Experiences in an effort to determine the frequency, severity and cause of poor
saddle fit.BY
COMPARING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUCCESSFUL AND UNSUCCESSFUL SADDLE FITTING
EXPERIENCES THE DISCREPANCY CAN BE IDENTIFIED AND SOLUTIONS
FOUND.
If you or any of the participants in your saddle survey would like to
receive an advanced copy of this research paper, you can fill out the simple
form, on the web at http:///www.saddletech.com > ?information? > ?saddle fit database? and contribute
your saddle fitting experiences. Once the data is compiled you will receive the
first edition of this revealing report, by e-mail. If you provide a code of some
sort for the participants in your saddle survey in the "additional
comments" section, I can pull that data out specific to your group, for
your analysis and comment.
The saddle survey has been up quite for a few days so we are
taking it down. . The results are given below. Of course steubin is stubben -
but most people seemed figure it out. As far the "not listed" - from feedback
I had it is really a bunch of "cats and dogs" with no saddle having a large
contribution to the category. There were a lot of not listed English saddles
in this group.
The six most popular saddles were (in order).
Sports Saddle
(13.74%) Wintec
(12.78%) Ractor Panel (8.63%) Ortho
Flex
(8.63%) Abetta
(5.43%) Annie George (5.11%)
These six made up 54.32% of those
that responded. Truman
Which type of saddle do you presently ride in? If you use more than one,
choose your favorite.
