Too many factors for saddle sore. Spesh would sort you out and you can return/replace it.. sdg doing demo saddle as well .... i find shaving my balls helps with saddle related sore, but then thats just me  |

Why shave them, have you tried waxing? I know a man that tried Veet, left it on a bit too long. he said the pain was awful. |

Seriously Man.....never shave them unless you want to go commando for six months .... The irritation when they are allowed to grow back in is just sheer hell !!
However if you like torture and pain try using tweezers instead......

What saddle do you have just now Al? Have you checked your clamp bolts, last time I had noises coming from the saddle it was because of those pesky wee blighters

Its the one that came with the bike.
The clamps are tight but when you wiggle the seat there is movement where the rails go in to the back of the seat, hence the creaking.

My saddle / seatpost developed an annoying squeak / creak when riding... I tried spraying the rails with lubricant as that worked before, however it did nothing... Turns out it was the seatpost instead. I swapped the saddle onto a different post and it was silent! After giving it a good clean, and moving the clamping area around abit, i re-fitted the saddle and its now silent again  Many factors that could be causing it... The saddle could be cracked, the rail slightly loose or it could be the seatpost like mine... Maybe shaving your balls might help tho! the itching afterwards would take your mind off the noise!!! |

Does any body ride a reasonable distance without any padded inners. I've always been lead to believe your arse kind of gets used to it. I haven risked leaving them out yet mind.

I commute 13 miles each way. Some days I'll use inners if they're washed and some days (most days, the washing fairy's a bit slack) I don't. If I've been out on my days off I start to feel sore but it's not unbearable and I can still ride. My mate who rides with me does nothing but complain about the state of his ring and he's not averse to trying to get anyone and everyone to look at it for him.
Seeing a mans insides from that angle.....it does something to you man, your pretty much dead after that.

I prefer not to wear inners because the more you don't the more your arse gets broke into your seat so you feel the benefit a lot more on the longer rides. Ps if you have a fat arse I suppose that helps as well |
