padded cycling shorts?

[baldrick]

definately new saddle then!

how many miles do you do a week, or should I say how lonag are you spending on your saddle every week?

4 or 5 hours a week maybe? sounds about right.

try a new gel saddle and some paddes shorts

for me tho when i bike to work and back (4 miles/20 mins each way)

I never bother, but when I'm traing (12-25 miles) I will without fail wear padded shorts

Seriously, a while ago I had the most worst sore arse due to my saddle and I tried it all, gel saddles, padded shorts etc etc and it just got worse until I got the brookes. I even posted about it on here about a yr or so ago

I wear padded shorts and they make all the difference. However, my seat is far too far back - I must have a weird-shaped body cos it can't go any further forward - when I'm riding, I'm always sitting on the front edge rather than the full saddle, and it can get uncomfortable.

I have the same problem

The shitty thing is that the clamps on nearly all micro-adjust seatposts are set back about an inch from the actual shaft of the seatpost. The only straight one I have ever seen is a Thompson one that costs 60 quid! 60 quid for a seatpost!

Baldrick get thyself dahn to decathlon, they sell padded shorts for about 6 quid. I wear them underneath my combat trousers

They arent anywhere near as comfy as Endura ones though.

and ferraris for long distance driving you gets what you pay for padded briefs are worth a punt, you can get decent quality ones for <£15.
.

Assos shorts are pricey but they're without peer - other manufacturers have given up trying to better the Mille insert and are now using it under licence in some cases (Gore). £85 might seem like a lot but I got about 9000 comfy miles out of my Milles, so it was money well spent.

I wear them and they really do make a difference...especially as I do anywhere between 25 and 36 miles a day.
