Ok, I know everyone always says "it's not a stupid question", but this one will probably qualify for that category (hmmmm...new category??)

I guess I just assumed I should always go for the thickest chamois since I'm try to do longer rides each weekend I go out and hope to get up to 70-milers in prep for the Cycle Oregon trip. I'd of course never worn cycling shorts before this summer, so I made a lot of assumptions. I'd been avoiding buying the PI sugar short for just this reason (I have two VERY nice pairs of shorts...the PI 3d microsomething and a Sugoi that cost like $110 but can't remember the model).

But it's really really annoying that I keep getting the back of the stupid chamois caught on the very thin front part of the saddle when I try to hop back up after being stopped at a light or stop sign. Am I the ONLY one this happens too?? It's really frustrating because then it pulls the shorts down a little as I drag my big butt further up and over the tip of the saddle to get settled.

I think it's because I'm not used to having a big old pad over my butt, you know? And I'm a really clumsy person to begin with, unfortunately.

So, if I understand right, I can probably go with a smaller chamois? How small can you go if you want to do 70 mile rides? I have that nice saddle with the butterfly on it, so I'm sure I have a good saddle (I'm so bad with names, can't remember the brand name). I'd experiment, but honestly, $70 bucks a shot is a lot of "experimenting", you know?

Thanks,
