What!? I suppose its individual tastes but personally I reckon the Ten seat is excellent by comparrison to my past bikes.

The trouble is that you can spend loads of cash on a new seat that the manufacturer will tell you is the dogs but it won't work for you. I have never heard of suppliers offering a '100 mile test my seat offer' either.

If its just distance thats the problem then try gel cycling shorts. Has worked for me on my previous plank of a seat. Failing that there is a company called Dan Medico who make a gel seat cushion that is �40 and excellent. Adds some 3 cm's to your seat height so hope your tall!

Good luck with this age old cookie. If every arse was the same it would all be so easy.
