Well, as it says on the tin, i need extra padding on my seet.
I'm one of those tall \ lanky people who's skin and bone.
As a result, unless the bike has a decent amount of padding, i find it really uncomfortable to ride for extended periods of time.
which is a shame, because i want to ride around spain next year if i can afford to.
do you know of a relatively cheap way to add padding onto a seet?
Put a sheepskin on it. They cost b-all on eBay. Next up in price is a gel cover. Finally and most costly is recover the seat and put a gel insert under the cover.
Or eat 15 donuts a day for a few months to develop some arse fat
What he said ^^^^^
Depends how much you are willing to spend really, getgeared do one for £50 which is £20 off at the mo.
Believe me, I've tried! I'm also one of those people who could eat for England but never gain weight!Quote:

There are several ways to make your seat softer/more comfortable, all that has been said, but you can insert a softer foam and if done correctly the original seat cover will go back on.
It is a relatively cheap option. I can do it for you for around £40.

Drink more beer. Natural padding will soom follow!
Doesnt too much beer give you a fat belly though :pQuote:
