Okeedokee, what are we using to help get rid of the dreaded numb bum ? No Cliff, I don't want ya rubbing sudocreme on my butt thanks.
I'm getting some dog bones to lower the seat height so's I can then fit an Airhawk, or similar, but much less expensive, alternative.
I'm good for about 1 hour before I'm having to stand on the pegs, which isn't long enough really. Ideally, I'd be happy if I could manage 1.5 - 2 hours.
I was reading about a seat pad that's filled withbuckwheat, will go see if I can find it. Think it costs around £25.

Also, not sure if a sheepskin cover would help, although they do add some comfort. Not fussed about a gel pad insert either.
Thought about Pete7's solution of wearing cycling shorts butt, unsure as to how you go about cleaning them if you're on a tour ? Also, don't things get a bit sweaty wearing them every day for 2 weeks ?
