Numb bum
So a few people must have experienced the numb bum after riding a pointy SV for more than a couple of hours .
Well i`m thinking of doing the 2cm gel pad seat insert and wondered if anyone else had tried this approach or any other that seems to have improved their ride , any tips appreciated. |

Re: Numb bum
I've thought about buying a cheap 2nd hand rider seat off eBay for my Curvy and doing what you say.Even my Curvy's seat can cause a bit of Numb Bum after I've been out all day say after 150+ miles.As I'm a tightwad I keep a small oblong of 3" deep foam rubber rolled up in my packpack and stick under my A*se if it starts going dead

Re: Numb bum
Thanks for the offer but I'm ok with what I have Maviczap.I'll most likely be winterizing the bike soon or just using it for short shopping trips and am waiting to hear about some Contract work in Europe
