Seat Suspension for Clydes
Hey everyone!
New here, but figured I would ask some experienced clydes before making my final decision. I am currently 6ft5 and weigh 350lbs.
I am going to do RAGBRAI again this year, (about 55 miles a day and 2000ft of climb for a week) and like in the past, I am worried about my butt making it all the way. It's rare that I am tired or my legs hurt, but mostly my butt hurts with every little jab so I sag out. Here is what I am looking at for this year. I found out that suspension for your seat is available and the videos look decent, but it's always some skinny person on the bike, and rarely a clyde.
Here are just some of the suspension rigs I have found, but some come with warnings of being too heavy for the product.
amazon.com/Rinsten-Spring-Bicycle-Shock-Absorber/dp/B07MFMHJSY
amazon.com/Cane-Creek-Thudbuster-Travel-Seatpost/dp/B003NE5IRK
I am wondering if anyone has one of these, has advice on getting one or the other, or should I just not even bother with it?
Thanks in advance!
