I just came from a local foam shop where I bought 6 different types of
foam cut to my template (which looks a lot like the semcycle foam pad)
I tried them all, and finally deciced on 1 inch "closed cell" foam.
It's dense, but cushy and has somewhat of a "memory" and moulds to
every pressure point. I also cut out a sort of "Channel" groove, (about
1" wide and 1/2" deep) right down the middle, hoping that it would
relieve pressure where it counts, but be firm enough for sit bones and
hold shape well. Verdict: After placing this foam piece over the inner
tube, then coveing it all with my fusion cover, i took it (my coker)
for a spin and IMMEDIATELY felt the difference! Later today I will give
it a real test when I join my riding buddy for a 14 miler along the
bike path at Will Roger's State Beach, near Malibu, CA.
