Hey folks,
I just received my Argo Adaptive 00 and surprized (not in a good way) how poorly it's made: I found 2 places where it broke already, print is uneven, so it is even out of shape in some places. And it isn't sitting on the base straight. Do yours look similar? Are they breaking further?

You just inspired me to look at mine more closely; don't have those issues. That said I've previously warrantied stuff with Fizik via my LBS and it was a totally painless experience.
Has anyone know more about the difference between 00 and r1 adaptive?
I saw it's 15g claimed weight lower, and a slightly lower profile, does anyone know if the padding would feel firmer in line with other 00 saddles?
Also, does anyone else with the adaptive notice that it tears the chamois stitching? i've noticed on all my pairs, that the surface is so grippy, the stitching tears. which is kind of annoying and expensive.

Did this all get resolved with a new saddle? Any feedback on it? compare to R1 adaptive at all?isharamet wrote: ↑Thu Apr 27, 2023 3:53 pmHey folks,

I just returned it, didn't even try to ride it once.Bobbyc123 wrote: ↑Mon May 22, 2023 1:21 pmDid this all get resolved with a new saddle? Any feedback on it? compare to R1 adaptive at all?isharamet wrote: ↑Thu Apr 27, 2023 3:53 pmHey folks,

To answer my own question, i ordered the 00 Adaptive and it arrived, and it's waaaay stiffer than i was expecting. The cushioning is about 25% less so it's a pretty firm. I'm yet to try it but i worry it may be too stiff for me. Might be up on the For Sale section soonBobbyc123 wrote: ↑Mon May 22, 2023 11:53 amHas anyone know more about the difference between 00 and r1 adaptive?
