>>2799138Padded shorts help a bit for the first couple of hours, after that they get compressed and soaked with sweat and start making things worse instead of better. On tour they get disgusting real quick and then the foam takes 3 days to air dry after you wash them.
But regardless, if your bike is not comfortable for you, then padded shorts is just masking the problem without solving it.
One of the most effective solutions to ass pain is a Brooks B17 but it will probably cost more than the whole bike in your pic.
