Since I started cycling, I have had an issue with my rear. no it's not saddle sore if you're thinking along that line. No its my jeans...
This is the 1st Saddle I had.
You'd think it being a nice soft & comfy saddle, it be OK on my rear. Afraid not...
Next saddle I got due to change in cycling habit & need for more movement of the legs, so I got this.

And it did this to another pair of Jeans...
Which I put to the design of the saddle as the plastic edge rubs.
So I ordered another similar design with no solid edge.
And is a nice saddle, not to bad to ride on but like the others it's taking another victim...
So after 3 saddles & 3 pair of Jeans, I am at a loss. It's not the saddles so must be either I have a bony rear which is unlikely or the Jeans just aren't made like they used to be (most likely), so if anyone has ideas of hard wearing trousers/jeans (not lycra, you do not wanna see me in lycra) then please leave a comment of what & where I can get them in the comment box.
But not anything over £30, above that & its out of my financial capability & until then I'm just gonna have to keep buying the cheapest jeans to hold out 'til I can find something harder wearing.
I know the problem. Being a large person, cycling on a hot day while wearing jeans is not good. I was definitely walking a bit 'John Wayne'...
ReplyDeleteI dont find wearing jeans are a problem other than wearing holes in the rear & I sure dont suffer the 'John Wayne' effect.
DeleteYou're riding in jeans?
ReplyDeleteI might keep my jeans on for a 300 yard ride up to the shops, or the half mile to the swimming pool, but any ride beyond that and jeans are a liability.
There's nothing wrong with lycra, but if you really can't stomach the thought get yourself down to your local Mountain Warehouse.
What is wrong with jeans? As a teen I did no different & didnt wear holes in them. I prefer jeans, just they dont seem to make them as tough as they were 20yrs ago.
