Numb Bum fix?

[R1ffR4ff]

Just looking on eBay and found these,

I bought a silicone strap on seat pad years ago, it was comfortable but it was too unstable . Have thought about having it incorporated into the seat but not sure whether it would be successful or not

Not a bad idea. I've thought about getting a cheap 2nd seat off eBay and messing around with it :)

Or gluing some rubber sheet to the underneath of the Gel-Seat pad to give it more grip.

What I have noticed over the years is if I stop being lazy on my exercise and more walking and cycling routine and therefore tighter glutes= less Numb bum. I only get it after about several hours out riding.

I have found if you haven't ridden a bicycle for a long time your backside takes time to toughen up to riding again. I wonder if the SV650A saddle experience might be like that !

Avoid long straight roads when possible so you move around more. Padded cycling shorts (even cheap ones from Decathlon) work well.

All good stuff. Could buy a cheap 2nd hand rider seat and put some Velcro on it and the padded seat/cover for long journeys or commuting to make it more stable and then keep the original for cosmetics :)

FYI: I've changed my Seat Cap Screws/Allen bolts for stock Hex bolts and can take it off with my Hinged Factory Spark-Plug spanners back-end :)

Anyone uses one of the air type? The silicone pad one is not very stable - are these better?

[Bibio]

any pad will move about if its not strapped down properly. if you cant get on with a gell one there is no way you will get on with an air one as your bum moves about due to the 'air cushion'. they are a bit weird at first but you soon get used to them. great on rough roads :-)



personally it does not bother me. the air one is superb and less numb bum. due to having clogged common iliac artery's where they split from the aorta my legs/bum gets numb very quickly so i have to stop every 40 odd miles but the air pad does help loads.

I have a Gel seat, it's generally okay but when covering hundreds of miles it gets a bit sore, got to say my knees and shoulders go before **** though. I went round France with a cushion on the seat which was fine until you hung off the bike , had to catch it on at least one occasion.

I bought a silicone strap on
It doesn't sound comfortable :-dd

does that include the cover and the air cushion ?
might be worth a try. I got some cheap 'gel' (seem more like foam rubber )pads but you have to sew them on to your underpants :roll: which I haven't got round to doing so haven't used them yet !
