Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Madison Freewheel Gel Pad Shorts, proper care is essential. Always machine wash on a gentle cycle with a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip the moisture-wicking properties of the technical fabric and degrade the gel pad cushioning over time. Air dry the shorts away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the elasticized fibers from breaking down. Ensure the sizing is correct before your first ride; the shorts should feel snug and secure, ensuring the gel pad is perfectly positioned against your sit bones without restricting blood flow or movement.
