already done :daumenhoch: haven't tried them yet but bought em last year after a few rides to work and back left me feeling a bit tender of harris
hoping that combining those with my homemade seat cover will make even the elina bearable

pickle had a good plan - to eat his way to a more padded arse :daumenhoch:
