baboons ar$e syndrome

how'd you avoid the dreaded monkey butt? other than riding in jeans/combats/shorts, almost all bike gear makes me do a good impression of a primate after a few miles.

Ouch!

This is one side of riding I don't like. Any ideas?

cheers

Even that in time will probably do the same. just less so and take longer.

Unfortunately with the race-suits designed to fit comfortably when in the 'Racing Crouch' i think ur a bit stuffed after a year of wearing when they have adopted that shape.

nah, not the look - the saddle soreness ! a real downer. Cars fine tho'.

Aftermarket gelseat? Have a look at the seat you've got and see if you can take it to bits and put a bit more padding in it?
Alternative is to remove it completely, and evostick some 2mm black foam on. You'll still get a sore arse, but you'll look like you meant to have it

I'm lucky in that my arse is actually that shape.

[HertsBiker]

ironically I have just found the cause to be an excess of padding!!!! so a few hours with the rasp has reprofiled things nicely. Cheers all.

Best to get an after market seat if you are sure thats the problem and not your riding postion.

I had a Corbin seat on my CBR600rr its a bit bigger than the standard seat and way better, feels very weird at first as it thicker and harder (no jokes!)

But having said that it was very very comfortable and i didnt get any problems with bum achce or lower back discomfort etc.

Check thier site out, www.corbin.com
They are based in the states and tbh they cost a lot but it was worth it, managed to sell it on ebay once i sold the bike and recovered a lot of the cost.
