Saddle upgrade on hybrid 7 speed?
Just a general question. I'm going to sign up to do my first tour in October. I won't have a road bike by then. My hybrid 7 speed KILLS my behind even with padded shorts.
The tour routes are minimum 25 miles, which I have no trouble doing except for the butt pain. I have a big cushy saddle which many people have told me is my problem.
Would it help my issue to go ahead and upgrade saddles to the sort I would have on a road bike? Or is that silly, considering the hybrid commuter type of bike that I have?
I was considering a Selle Italia Diva Gel Flow.
