You know, the Terry pad is thin by my standards, too, and their chamois below the Ultimate are not woth bothering with in my book, so you need to look at them. And I haven't done any distances you all wouldn't laugh at recently, got new knees and have been riding with the beginners, but I've been pretty impressed with the Terrys. And the knickers are great- they hide a lot![]()
of out of shape knee ugliness!
Anyway, I'm impressed by what I thought would be a total washout. Look for some Blackbottoms, though- nothing beats real lizard hide!
I have that Liberator Race, and I gave the nose a tilt up, just one tooth on the seatpost adjustment, and MY GOD! My seat bones are totally planted on the back, and I picked up three mph immediately! I couldn't see this for Mt, but I'm more impressed than ever with that saddle.
I'm still pondering the Damselfly- I just need that hole in the nose. I dug out my BMX bike- Anybody else have one of those?- and that saddle is 5" across the rear, so I may put it on the Mt bike and see if my sit bones will fit. I bought it in grad school to scoot around campus on, and don't remember any seat trouble, but one doesn't really sit down on those bikes.
Hint if you go back to school- having a lot of grey hair but still riding the stairs on a BMX cruiser will get you a lot of In with beautiful young men, the maintenance guy with master keys, nutty proffessors, and a whole host of other inconspicuous but very valuable contacts. Like Security at the private suite VIP entrance to Tiger Stadium. (That's a story for the first TE Forum convention)
And they're fun! You dirt-y girls would love them.
