My Arse Hurts
 
I built up a saddle from an old Specialized saddle. I removed all the padding and put a AAA goatskin cover on it. Yeah, this didn't work out well, I am walking like a cowboy. Question A, should I get shorts with a chamois, or Question B should I add padding to this thing? If I add padding what should it be and where.
Sore crevices suck. Hurts to walk!

Uh, spend $10 at the used saddle bin at your LBS. Something you don't see much of is home made saddles. There's a reason for that....

Then again, maybe you should pony up for one of these:

Put the Padding back and get the chamois shorts.

Chamois shorts are a definite go!

It's a joke for padded shorts....Pads = Kotex.

There's a guy here in Georgia that rebuilds old saddles...Recycled Saddles

You could either send it to him (really reasonable prices), or reverse engineer his design and do it yourself

Maybe you just need to break it in. Keep riding :D

Maybe you need a recumbent.
