So I've been hitting the trails quite a bit lately. MY NUTS ARE KILLING ME!!! I can't walk straight sometimes. I bought one of the softer seats with the gaps in the appropriate places, but my nuts are still killing me. For those who are hardcore, what do you do? I'm averaging about 50 miles a week. It's a Gary Fischer with front suspension. I weigh 200 lbs. Seriously, it's a problem.

i don't have a clue, but hooray for cheap birth control!

get a banana seat and lose some weight fatboy!

When i used to bike the only way to rectify the ball pains was to stand up every so often. Either that or sit up forward and have the pointy part of the seat on your asshole. Choose your poison.

Oh, i didn't hit trails. Biking on side streets and what not.

Nut huggers with the padding. They make them as just underwear, so you can choose the shorts, or they make them as a liner, or of course, you can go the ChiPerf route and full blown spandex.

50 miles a week on trails is good shit.

Oh, and is your bike sized for you?

It was sized for me and my position is good. I'll try the padded shorts.

My seat looks just like this. Do you think that is my problem?

That's what I use as well. Your nuts should stay in front of your taint, and I realize on mtn bikes you are off the seat more often, so the nuts can get under the taint, then you squish them = PAIN. Also, if you experience chaffing, try out "body glide" I'm sure all sports stores now carry it, it's like an industrial strength vaseline.

It's sticky and gooey, until it gets warmed up. So, I wouldn't recommend it as an alternative for your other vaseline uses.

Wat!?

The pain usually last for a week, once your ass/nuts got used to the seat the pain will go away.

This is too funny. Um, well, first you should get some padded shorts. Trust me, they help a lot. I don't just wear them to look cool. If you don't want to look like the toolbag racer type like me you can put regular shorts over them.

Next, the seat you choose should support your ass bones perfectly. Ass bones is a very technical medical term, meaning the bones in your ass. You should sit on those, and not your nuts. If you are and your nuts still hurt then you need to adjust the seat a little downwards. Also, you should stand and move every so often to relocate the pressure from sitting.

Nice job on the riding, keep it up.

Just got back from a quick 6 - 7 miles. It's nice out!

You will get use to it.
If you ride mountain bike in hilly area don't sit, try to be of the seat better for balance and movability, and
ass pain will go away. I have a hard seat and doesn't bug me anymore
Get clip on shoes or baskets.
First time I come back from Palos Hills my ass was in pain for a week.

ps: where do you bike?, all trails are a mess, and if you ride in mud CAMBR will kick your ass.

no, platform all the fucking way.
