Here's the good news. I have found the perfect combination of saddle and shorts in terms of comfort. I ride on a Specialized Jett and I wear the Shebeest Ultra D shorts. However, I have only ridden in the shorts for a total of 66 miles (2 rides) and the lycra is getting rubbed and is thinning -- apparently from where the shorts contact the edges of my saddle. What can I do? Should I put duct tape or something over the saddle? What about on the shorts? Am I destined to spend $120 on shorts that won't last very long?

I'm hoping for a cheaper solution than that. I've been riding on PIs with this saddle and this never happened. Then again, I was never this comfortable.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
