Out of interest, we have struggled in the past to find the right padding for darrens hardshell seat, bearing in mind he rides for up to 6 hours at a time and did over rode for over 14 hrs in a 24 hour period recently in swansea. Too much padding tends to loose power and cause too much sweating. We think at last we have found the solution in the form of a self adhesive neoprene type tape. This has so far lasted for over 30 hours of racing and still looks as good as new and appears to be the answer. Might be worth you giving it a try. You can just see it in this picture
