  1. I agree with the prior poster.  You may also want to consider your riding position- road bikes put more weight on your arms (less on your rear).

    In addition to a properly fitting saddle, really good bike shorts are worth every penny.  spending 80-120 on some shorts with a good chamois is totally worth it if you're serious.  If your rear is a source of shame, buy some baggy shorts to wear on top of your bike shorts.


  2. Here's the thing...

    A correctly fitted and adjusted saddle should support you on your bones. By having a cushy saddle you may be more comfortable if you are sitting still or maybe even for the first few minutes, but as weight is applied you sink into it you start to contact your "soft spots". This creates friction and chafing. Ever have a chafed nether-region?

    Instead, go to your local bike shop and have them suggest the best fitting saddle for you and your riding technique.
