I don't really have access to such services where I live atm. I got a simple padded seat cover on Takealot for under R200 and it has improved the general comfort by 200%. barnarp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisF Posted August 7, 2023 Share There are many videos on how to check your "sitbone width" at home, if you dont have access to a bike fit. Also, you bumm gets saddle-fit, just like any other cycling muscle ! If you regularly do 50km rides, you will soon feel good for the duration (on the right size saddle). Add another 45 minutes and your behind knows all about it ... do longer sessions for a few weeks and all is good. On the flip side, if you do a few weeks of shorter rides, it will take a few longer rides for your bumm to get in shape again.
