I'm having serious trouble with my seat. It definitely takes the pressure off the middle parts but I am getting serious chafing and rubbing off of skin in my right groin area. I have used chammy cream and all kinds of lubricants. I have used different kinds of shorts. The rubbing is on the seam between the heavier padding and the lighter padding--or on some shorts it is where the padding ends and the short begins.
I am thinking about purchasing a new seat ( I hear the specialized Jett seat is a good one) and a new pair of shorts where the padding covers a larger area (Sugoi neo pro).
This is making my biking life miserable and takes all the fun out of it. I just don't want to ride if I am going to be so sore for 2 days after. I would love to ride a century or something, but if riding 15 makes me raw, then I have no chance at that milestone.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
