    1. Everything from short (4 miles) to medium (40-50 miles). I haven't done any long rides (80 miles) in a few years.

    2. I did not have to get used to it. Ditching the chamois was such an incredible relief!

    3. I ride an unpadded Brooks B68 with springs most of the time. I do have one bike with a Brooks B67 (no springs) but I ususally go no farther than about 20 miles on that.

    The only way you'll know how you will do is if you try it.

    I get those crescent shaped chafe spots from my pearl izumis, but I took to putting sport glide on there and it doesn't bother me anymore. the sport glide does sting a little when it first goes on, but it doesn't migrate like chamois buttr.
