Berry Posted December 16, 2013 Share Swollen buttocks is normal I've seen a lot of people who have swollen buttocks. But it is more common with the girls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted December 16, 2013 Share Are you using chamois cream for those boutjies? Have you done a bike set-up? Do you have a good quality bib shorts?  Other than those questions:It is relatively normal to have slightly sore / numb / dull ache over long distances.It takes time getting used to.It never goes away.

Thor Buttox Posted December 17, 2013 Share Given my name, I have suffered too... A proper measurement on the 'assometer' to measure my pelvic bones and a 15mm wider saddle solved most of my probs. And And some weight loss also helped, I think. DACoetzee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slanghoek Louis Posted December 17, 2013 Share Thanx guys. We use Selle Italia saddle's and Simano bibs. Where and who do you recommend for fitment. Have heard not so great news about fitment agents. Let you spend thousends and then you are worse off afterwards. We are near Worcestor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
