I put a new seat on my bike.

People underestimate how comfy these seats are! Even without padded shorts you can get so much further without chafing if your seat has the cutout.

You’ve tried with padded shorts as well? Because description says they’re designed to use without those. I’m curious about experience with.

If you want to have any flesh left between the saddle and your pelvis when doing 50 mile rides, you’ll want the padding!

Yeah, I do that but am looking to do a bit more intense of an event and an looking for something extra. So you’ve tried this particular saddle or some other gelled with padded shorts?

I almost always ride with a cutout saddle and with padded shorts. The main thing you get extra from this type of saddle and the shorts is not being distracted by a painful taint.

I don’t race, but I keep an alright pace on road routes. When in season and I’m focusing on cycling more than running I’m usually doing 60-100k rides every fortnight or so.
