Hi all,
The Defy 1 had a 40 mile maiden voyage on Saturday. A thorough enjoyable experience on the whole. However, after years of riding a MTB with a seat like a small sofa, the soreness of my behind at the end of the ride was a bit of a shock to the system. The A48 between Bridgend and Cardiff is rather rough! I guess it isn't the "done thing" to attach a sofa style seat to a road bike so I am going to buy some padded / gel shorts.
Looking around, there are so many options. I don't really want to spend a fortune. I have always bought Muddyfox stuff (strides and tops) until now and they've been fine. They do a range of padded shorts that get ok reviews.
Any advice would be handy.
