  Does anyone have a decent supplier for Gel Pads? The kind for bike seats.
  Thanks

I was buying mine directly from Pro Pad. But dang are they expensive. Have you checked E-Slay ?

Gel pads just seems like such a small market that no one carries them but a few companies. And it appears they love taking advantage of that situation. :)

For what it is worth. I did my motorcycle seat with a gel pad and after riding my bike I tore my seat apart and re-did it without the pad. It was hard as a frigging rock. I took it out and got a better cushy feel for my old tushy with good foam instead layered with memory foam.

Thanks Chris,
  Good site. I will use them when the need arises.

I'm a Pro Pad dealer.  ;D  You do get better pricing if you are buying in volume.  Miami Corp does carry a gel insert too, but I have not used them.  There is also Saddleman, but they make seats and I consider them a competitor so I wouldn't even consider them.   There is also a Shocktec and I have looked at and considered their products but their wholesale pricing is not much better than their retail prices, so that doesn't help them.

I didn't realize Miami Corp had them. Good to know. Already have an account there. Thanks.
  Also will keep you in mind Saddleman.
