Gel pads 1 cm or 2?

[ghockey72]

I'm tyring to make seat more comfortable for higher milage rides..bought air pad that don't like the change in seat position so now moving to try something new. I'm thinking to have inserts of 1 or 2 cm gel then re-attach seat cover to ease that burn and numbness on my ars...I'm sure many people have insight and without spending a ton of cash, think this may be a good choice? Tips/advice ?

thanks in advance.

GHockey,
I had my bike seat done at Saddle Craft, South Shields, UK.
They make their own at the "optimal" 18 to 20 mm.
Optimal or not they work very well.
I'll try and attach the link there's good info on there.
Good luck.

I used a 2 cm thick one on my NC700X. Feels pretty good! Much improvement over stock.
Supracor is better, but much more $. That’s what Spencer used in his “ Spencerized” seats.
