SMP Selle TRK medium. Super comfy. Best decision I've made since buying the bike.
Cool bike! Looks like you need to change your tire though

An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

You joke but I'm pretty sure the channel is literally for prostate health

Looks like a nice ride though!

Dude, those are the best fucking saddles, I don't care what anyone says. I rode from San Francisco to LA on that during the pandemic and still have it.
Enjoy and go far!
Nice! I'm still pretty new to cycling, but I'm looking forward to getting some longer rides in as time goes by.

Stupid sexy bike seat
Does that slot work as a cock rest when riding naked? Must be comfortable.
Having seen that picture of the guy with his plums stuck in a slatted deckchair, do not sit on this while in the nip.
Not a lot of opportunities to ride naked where I'm at, but I'll try to remember this as sort of general safety information.
People underestimate how comfy these seats are! Even without padded shorts you can get so much further without chafing if your seat has the cutout.
You've tried with padded shorts as well? Because description says they're designed to use without those. I'm curious about experience with.
If you want to have any flesh left between the saddle and your pelvis when doing 50 mile rides, you'll want the padding!
Of you ride regularly you build up butt muscle and don't notice a hard seat as much.
Maybe I've got my fit wrong, but I don't think I've got more muscle between my buttocks. Definitely get slightly calloused though 😬
I have this type seat pictured, I found it pushed on my butt bones, but after months of riding the muscle built up provided cushion. I think many people have the nose tilted too high so it jabs your groin
This is so overstated imo. I do more than 200 miles a week in normal work clothes just fine, and have done many 50 miles rides without padded shorts. I honestly think they make it worse, but maybe I'm just weird.
Fair. Maybe I'm just sensitive down there!
Why not just pad the seat?
Your butt moves with your legs so the padding in the shorts moves with you. Padding on the seat chafes and rubs against you. A padded seat can get you pretty far but a proper chamois is important for long distance. And often even more important is bike fit.
Yeah, I do that but am looking to do a bit more intense of an event and an looking for something extra. So you've tried this particular saddle or some other gelled with padded shorts?
I almost always ride with a cutout saddle and with padded shorts. The main thing you get extra from this type of saddle and the shorts is not being distracted by a painful taint.
I don't race, but I keep an alright pace on road routes. When in season and I'm focusing on cycling more than running I'm usually doing 60-100k rides every fortnight or so.
I think it would irritate my testicles.
It keeps my weight further back on my sittin' bones rather than on the ol' gooch and associated bits, and that's where the padding is thickest on the seat. But everybody's built different.
I have cumbersome balls. It's debilitating.

Cumbersome Balls sounds like a good band name. Just sayin
Too good. No way that's not already taken.
Sounds awful. Sorry about that.
I liked riding bikes when I was younger, but it wasn't until I was much older and finally got a bike that fit me properly that I found it was something I really enjoy and look forward to every day. A decent saddle, positioned well, makes a world a difference. Enjoy the miles!
Ooh, I love that style of saddle. Very comfy. I'd rather not replace it, but I think that the rails might be getting a little bent. It took a pretty nasty hit during a crash last month.
Does it help you KOM?
A little, but I started out as a lousy climber so...
If you look at it the right way it's like a particularly sexy dog butt.
You okay bud?
