Stupid Seat Question

[littlef66]

Well I have yet another stupid question that I was hoping for some feedback on. I am getting ready to take the 08 Pitbull on its first long ride and I am struggling with which seat I want to use. Obviously, the seat with the springs sounds like the best idea but for some reason my ass starts hurting on this seat after like 200 miles. I also have the other seat that sits down in the frame and it is a little wider but does not have the springs. You definetly feel the bumps a little more with this seat but I feel like I can ride it longer. Maybe I am just being a big pansey. Any suggestions??

Thanks

On a LONG ride, I don't think it will make a difference.

How long is a long ride (hours as well as miles?)

If you are doing highway speeds, then you are going to need refueling every 1 1/2 hours or so. Take a 15 minute break at those points and walk around. That will help you build up endurance. Otherwise, be wise and take a break every hour or when you need it.

I have 6000 miles on my 09 Mastiff, the seat is just as hard as it was when I bought the bike (it's never going to "break in"). What has changed is my riding stamina. And that just takes time and pain.

Pace yourself and enjoy it.
