Thanks! I came from an S-Works Power Mirror Saddle and it's surprisingly more comfortable.

What's your opinion on SL7 vs SL8 since you've ridden the SL7 for a longer period time.

I know the frame weight was around 50g lighter but probably can't feel that.

I'm not doing a triathlon, but we have stage races which include short time trials. I just want to share a little project. I already sold my S-Works Shiv TT Disc. Now, I’m left with a Yonex climbing bike and an all rounder SL8. Hands down the SL8 is faster on the flats, but It’s impossible to fit clip-on aerobars on a Roval Rapide Cockpit. I gambled and bought a Syncros Creston/Controltech full carbon stem mount clip-ons. As expected the stock clamps are too narrow for the wide Rapide stem. I had to fabricate a custom clamp by CNC. I’m very happy with the outcome. The whole system only weighs 294g.

That's a winning product right there

I'm on that exact saddle at the moment, what are the specific benefits for you with this Bjorn compared to the Power Mirror?

I have also just moved all my saddles from either Sworks power or power mirror to Bjorn.

I found the Powers just too wide and I got saddle sores. I just find the Bjorns work for me. I know a lot of people who like them too

Do you happen to know What’s the difference in width in mm between them?

The Bjorn 143 is narrower but I didn't measure by how much and now sold all my soecialized saddles

are you using a 140 mm on the rear? i was going to use 160mm rotor on the rear but using the adapter for 160 mm rear disc adapter for shimano + dura ace disc caliper was too big for the sl8 frame as the disc caliper was too high.

Yes 140 mm on the rear. Remove the adapter
