Do you really need padded shorts?

[Tin Pot]

No, but my arse does.

I never understand this comment.

How does anyone get their sphincter to make contact with the seat at all?

Its my perenium that suffers.

Saddle is too high.

Not high enough IMO

That is the trouble with bike fits, no two are the same.

Probably the chorus to this:

Nope, not that. It was a song that was popular around 1984ish. It just had a chorus "I wanna get off" repeated (maybe up or on not off)

Curses.

I'm now thinking Passengers by Elton John.

That's it!!

And it fits just perfectly. All together now:

I've got a knackered bum
I wanna get off
I've got a knackered bum
I wanna get off

Wanna get off
Wanna get off
Wanna get off

Phew, I can sleep easily now.

The first thing I do when I get shorts is take out the padded liner.
More uncomfortable with it than without.

Maybe you are buying the wrong one's.

 

[S-Express]

Still not sure if this thread is serious. Only on cyclechat could you have a thread where someone claims the pros aren't wearing padded shorts

Long may the arsewittery continue

Why not just buy unpadded shorts rather than paying for something you bin

And only on cyclechat do you get multiple people defending the marketing so vociferously and claiming hundreds of people ALL wear their correct sponsors' padding.

But we already knew many cycle sports fans are gullible - they believed Lance, Landis, ... heck, there's probably someone on here who'll defend Ricco!

Have you read something I missed?

Where I come from, 'arse' can mean your sphincter or your buttocks, or anywhere around that region - its usually easily worked out by considering the context. i.e. if you say:

That curry last night, my arse in on fire!

You'd be talking about your sphincter, but saying:

That chair was so uncomfortable that my arse has gone numb

Would be referring to your buttocks.

Just to be clear.............
