I rode a too-narrow saddle for years. I developed styles and technique to move around a bunch and tolerate it. Once I actually measured my sit bone distance at home, I was able to shop and buy a more appropriate saddle for myself. It has made for fewer distractions on long rides.

@roadglide 2 года назад

Paramount is proper bike fitment, proper fitment of shorts, use of chamois cream, periodically getting out of saddle and the skin/tissue in the saddle contact points becoming more conditioned from a consistent routine of cycling.

@Desperado070 2 дня назад

Beside the wrong saddle / bike fit, eke bike being to large, to far from the handle bars or even sitting to much to the front or back. If these things are all correct then every other pain you get goes away after time. Don't forget you are training your whole body while driving a bike, especially MTB's and/or race bikes.

@solomona8 2 года назад

I have found that, for me, chamois cream is more critical for indoor rides than outdoor rides. On indoor rides, I don't vary my position as much, so the same spots rub over and over. Furthermore, my perspiration just sits there; I'll lose 3 - 5 lbs on an indoor ride, and my clothing is literally dripping wet at the end. Chamois cream is critical for indoor rides!

@philipk4475 Год назад

If you're dripping, you need to really improve your ventilation! Get a proper big boy fan which can hit your entire body

@nicholaspaxton6782 Год назад

The way that the pad is stitched into the shorts can matter too. On Phil's rec, I tried The Black Bibs and was getting basically rope burns from the pad stitching, which is almost a round stitch. Swapped them out for an ancient, non-bib pair of Performance Ultras that were in the drawer and have a flatter, back-and-forth stitch. The problems went away. I used the Performance shorts at Palm Springs Century a few weeks ago (first hundred-miler since I stopped racing in the mid-90s), and they worked great. Now I know something to look for in my next pairs of bibs. That being said, at the current price point, Black Bibs are worth the try (I don't regret trying them at all), and if they work for you, great: buy 'em up.

@ahnilatedahnilated7703 2 года назад

Ok, on shorts/bibs, what is the average amount of miles/km you want to put on them before switching them out? I don't know how quickly the pads wear out in shorts/bibs.

@blubaughmr 2 года назад

The people at the gas station aren't going to go out and get bib shorts. Almost all of my miles are commuting miles in street clothes. When the temps get above the mid 50's, khaki shorts. Below the mid 50's khaki pants. Light colors are good for being seen. I use regular cut-out saddle, but I ride a lot. There was a period of my life when I wasn't on the bike much, and then it hurt for a few days after a ride. For the people at the gas station, a big cushy saddle IS the best solution. One could argue this channel isn't one I should watch, but my daily commute includes over 1,000 feet of hill climbing (on a 37 pound commuter bike with fenders, dynamo light, three head lights, three tail lights, front and rear cameras, cable lock, & rain gear that always stays on the bike (I'm in Seattle). I really like hill climbing and even at 59 I'm fairly decent at it, so I enjoy this channel!

I don't wear bibs or cycle shorts, just normal beach shorts, because I find and have trouble with sweating which causes rashes and saddle sores and man parts been restricted . Saddle fitting is important and the style of saddle, what works for one will no work for the other , my saddle has some padding and is a women's saddle, yes a women's saddle and the last thing to get use to saddle without pain is to cycle a lot, more time the better . That why I ride in normal clothing because I go everywhere on my bike, for work, shopping my closes shopping mall is a 30 km round trip or when I bored I go for a 50 km's relax ride in the evenings . It not cool shopping in cycling gear , sweating.

Great Video and explanation. I'm having issues in my groin area. I recently bought a gravel bike just to workout with on zwift.

If it’s a stationary setup (meaning weight does matter) and you don’t have a problem with a big cushy seat on your other indoor setup, I say get a big cushy seat. It’s not wrong if it works

@worstretirementever 2 года назад

That’s how it is on the trainer. My setup is the same. Try to vary your hand position more and see if the rest of your body follows

@robertwaldren6206 2 года назад

Agreed. Periodically moving from sitting to standing also helps, as does shifting your butt slightly from side to side on the saddle for a few moments. Much better is if you can add a rocker plate and/or an elevation device like the Wahoo Kickr Climb. Those changes in angle of the bike make a big difference for surviving multi-hour trainer sessions.

@JeffRElliott 2 года назад

If I'm having problems with rubbing on the part that I'm not sitting on does it mean my bib shorts are too big? Isn't an issue at all outside but I think I'm doing a higher cadence on the trainer and it quickly becomes and issue.

@KerenWang 2 года назад

Inbetween leg and hip? I have had some bibs bunching up in that area. Some bib pads just stop at the inbetween leg and crotch area and that can lead to chafing.

@stevesmart170 2 года назад

Whoa! Thanks for the insight into The Black Bibs! $40.00! I said why not and ordered a pair. They came on a Friday, which I was going to do a 30-minute shake out on the trainer before my long ride on Sat. I thought I'll try them and see. I put them on, liked them so much I took them back off and used them on Saturday. They were great. Immediately to the top pair in the closet ahead of all the $100-$150 bibs! I'll be getting more.

@ricosalomar 2 года назад

I've found that it's important to check the condition of those bibs. Riding indoors seems to wear them out faster. Also, I tended to think, "It's an indoor ride, I don't need to use my best bibs." Wrong. Since the Black Bibs are so inexpensive, there's no need to use anything but fresh new ones.

@robertwaldren6206 2 года назад

100%, and if anything, indoor riding can be MUCH harder on your saddle interface region, since the bike doesn't move around under you (unless you have a rocker plate). High-quality bibs with a pad that works for you, a saddle that works for you, and a chamois cream are all crucial, especially for longer trainer sessions.

@donwinston 2 года назад

I can ride all day on my outside bike. But I recently got an indoor smart trainer for the winter and so far I can't take much more than an hour or so before I have to stop. I'm using my old bike for the trainer. It has a larger frame so I'm stretched out a little more but the saddle height is the same. Therefore I don't think there is more weight on my butt. I think it is because I'm glued to the saddle in erg mode all the time. It feels uncomfortable getting out of the saddle and giving my butt a rest. I'm afraid I might tip over or break my bike. I would hope one of those "rocker" things wouldn't be necessary.

@worstretirementever 2 года назад

There’s less movement and standing riding indoors so that’s super normal. Maybe try to stand and vary your position more often but shorten the stem or bring up the hoods or whatever if it takes to match the fit

@whaleshark2625 2 года назад

Depending on what trainer you have, you may need a riser for your front wheel. Tipping forward could lead to you subconsciously leaning back more onto the saddle.

Have you had your leg length measured, to make sure you don't need a shim on that side, and have you been to a physical therapist to have your pedaling motion and leg motion evaluated.

@bengt_axle 2 года назад

Agree with Jeffrey. Check flexibility as well. If you have a leg length discrepancy, the shorter leg will usually be tighter. Stretch and compensate about 50% with shim if the shortness is due to tibia. Also, you have to relax and check fore and aft and angle carefully.

@jehovasmike 2 года назад

Brooks leather saddle will mold to your shape. Order saddle with can of Brooks Proofhide and apply twice before riding, first coat will soak in. For third ride apply Proofhide again, after 400 miles the saddle will get two dimples where your sit-bones rest. The Brooks B-17 model for touring, or Brooks Professional for road bike.

@stevencole7331 2 года назад

My daughter comes for a visit once a year and goes out for an MTB ride with me and she gets a good case of sore butt . She where's my bib but she still ends up with pain . I think for a new rider or fitness level is not so high you can be heavy in your seat so to speak . I watched her and she rarely got out of her saddle as she kinds of use it as a crutch . So a big part of the equation is fitness and why when you push your limits with saddle time you can develope pain as you tire and get heavy in the saddle and on the bars . It's that core lower part of your body needs to be strong and have endurance for the saddle time you are basically riding . I noticed this also as I rode longer . I thought oh I just got use to it and why the pain went away and yes that is part but the other I just got a stronger core and wasn't so heavy in my saddle .

@lienbijs1205 2 года назад

You can have the best saddle, fitting exactly a person ( must be hard and forcing you to sit on your sitbones) , that is of course the number one priority but your bottom needs training every day to cure or avoid saddle pain. Just compare it with a fakir who is used to crazy things like laying on a spike bed. It is very painful at the beginning but his body gets used to it by doing it frequently. If you are just a nice weather cyclist you'll keep saddle pain. Just make your body strong and don't spoil it. Try to always sit on hard surfaces on your sitbones in an active sitting position ( they are made for that) avoid sitting on chairs with soft upholstery to make your bottom tough, you'll just get an ugly and weak hanging ass from upholstery Just cycle every day, rain, wind, freezing, snow, it doesn't matter, at least you feel that you live. There is no bad weather, only bad clothes. Just make sure that you have the right saddle and give your bottom time to get used to it like your body needs time to get used on a new mattrass.

Not exactly how I imagined Kill Phill Part 2 to go. Black Bibs are A+ tho

Its a pain in the butt, literally, to get it sorted. Go to bike shops and no one has any tester seat/rental seat or anything and basically say, if you buy it and use it, its yours. Some seats cost a lot of money to have a 'up in the air guess' that it will work.

My but doesn't hurt from long rides i just get zitts on my but and thats what hurts.

@JamieSmith-fz2mz 2 года назад

The reason why the pads are in the shorts and not on the saddle is because you want them to stay in place relative to your bum. If they were on the saddle, you could only sit one way on the saddle. Also, I see guys spending way too much time in the shorts after you've ridden. i.e. riding hard and then sitting in a coffee shop for hours is absurd. You're creating a moisture trap that isn't doing anything good. The first shorts that I could wear without needing chamois cream were Eliel.

I wanna know how cyclocross riders hop on and off without crushing their balls. Seriously, one wrong move and it's over.

If they had balls, they'd be on a mountain bike. 👍🏿

@colinricketts1415 2 года назад

I land on the saddle with thigh and slide onto the saddle kind of. I think that's what the aim is but the good guys are just much quicker

If you can’t explain why cycling shorts are better than buying a different saddle … then I’m pretty sure the majority of people are going to ignore your suggestion lol

@hobbs2005 2 года назад

AN EASY FIX: BUY A BROOKS SADDLE! It takes time to break in, but you'll never need to wear padded shorts, ever.

@andymitchell2146 2 года назад

I have a Brooks, and love it on my touring bike, but it does not work for me for TT's or chain-gang rides as the lack of a cut away puts for too much pressure where it shouldn't.

@colinricketts1415 2 года назад

Not sure should be liking crotch pain!

@worstretirementever 2 года назад

Haha depends whose pain

@larrylem3582 2 года назад

Why do you want your padding in your shorts and not your saddle? Even Phil doesn't know. "It's just the way it's done."

@tonyk8368 2 года назад

I've wondered that as well. Might be so that it can be washed, or so that it is interchangeable between bikes. But my best guess is that it is because the location of those two bones on your butt doesn't change, but your position on the saddle does change as you ride, so you want the padding to be affixed to the location of those bones, which means attaching the padding to yourself. But that's just a guess.

From personal experience, When I bend my torso forward on those large comfy seats, there’s too much rubbing on the inner thighs, and/or the range of motion is less.

Get a recumbent

I have never seen the correct answer given in my over 40 years of riding. you got close with one of your points. please consider that a compliment.

Don't play coy then. What's the correct answer?

@@CommaCam personal best for an athlete's hour over 40 in jan 1988. raced 2 years, never turned pro. regret it every day. just got my retirement so i'll have a book coming next couple years.

@DreweZanki 2 года назад

Pro tip - ever since i moved to a recumbent my butt, bits, wrists and neck do NOT hurt :D. Yes, it's not a normal bike - but i am WAY faster - and more comfortable. Otherwise, this is good advice if you don't move :D

@mikeggg1979 2 месяца назад

I read you shouldn’t wear underwear with your shorts, I always wear my boxers. I just got back into riding and I had to cut my ride short because my taint and ass we’re killing me lol 😂
