i WILL return after BMT and start reading up more and preparing for my new bike Until then i am going to just read up, and educate myself prior to purchasing a bike/parts.. I wish there were a chart that said "this is the best rear-de, this is the best tires, this is the best drop bars".. etc.. that way I can just figure out what it is that I need.. so far all i know is one of the best components are Dura Ace.. *shrug*
Sorry it has to be so difficult, but a squishy gel pad isn't going to help much. The padding tends to ride up into areas of your anatomy that aren't completely compatible with having gel padding wadded around them.
It may help on an $89 bike, but you should include it when you gift the bike to whoever.
Good Luck. I hope you land a gig rebuilding A-10 Turbofans. What is it you want to do in the AF?
