Just come back from a (short) 20 mile ride and my a**e is absolutely killing me. I bought some milano padded shorts for the recent Norfolk 50 and they were fine with no ache at all during that ride. However, they seem to be in-effective now.

I paid £14 for them (not much I know but I am still new and not looking at spending much til I know I like it!). If I spend a bit more will I notice the difference? Please forgive my ignorance but I could not justify loadsa wedge but I am keen to spend more.

What shorts do the members recommend? Your opinions are much appreciated.

Many thanks,

  • Are you new to cycling? If so it takes time for your backside to get used to it. You should find that it will stop getting sore after a while. Generally, the more expensive the shorts, the better the pad. A cheap pad may not be helping much. Sudocreme will help the soreness after a ride.

    Assos. Didn't believe the hype until I bought some. Superb but pricey.

    pricey, but a better investment than any upgrade I've made to the any bike
