New saddle on Haibike

[Jan1of1]

I recently bought a Haibike XDuro Trekking bike. I want to replace the stock saddle with a Brooks B-17 saddle. However the rails on the Haibike will not accept my Brooks mount. Has anyone run into a similar problem? Recommendations welcomed as I really want to put my Brooks saddle on this bike. Thanks in advance.

Just change the seatpost. It's 1/4th the price of Brooks and you can probably get a better seatpost than the stock one.

i changed saddle and post, as stock post is unforgiving on bad roads.

Problem solved. The rails on the Brooks saddle had to be yanked apart in order to accept the seat post - not an easy task, but successfully accomplished! Rode it and it feels great!

I was going to say that should be possible. The Brooks rails are pretty standard. I'm glad you got that sorted.
