You'll figure it out. Too often people think more padding/more gel. That is not the answer. The best over time will be a minimum of both. Your but will get harder and you legs will get in shape. Like said in above learn to spin,,,, 85/95 rpm. Use your gears to achieve that. Get checked at a shop to measure your sit bones and buy a saddle to match. Get a couple different opionions,,, I used a 143 for 6-8 saddles to finally realize I needed a 155. First 155 worked great for me. Good bibs will also make a huge difference
