I had one for a couple of years. It helped for a while on each long ride but after a while it seemed to simply transfer the pain to different spots. It also makes you ride just a little higher. I used it once on a 5,000 mile in two weeks ride. OK for a day or so but I left it in the bag after that. I'm not sure if it was my Corbin or my butt that got broken in after a few days. Some people love them.

We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.
