We may be biased, but we think they are legit and we like them, may have something to do with the fact that they stock a bad ASS chamois cream: https://www.merlincycles.com/search?w=ass+magic

Yes they certainly are, they also have a brick and mortar retail store in Hillcrest. Couple photos of their shop on their Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/biket.co.za/

Hi Shebeen. The Imbi Bike Saver was a product/brand of BIKALOT, without being able to go into the specifics of it here, we have a deal with Thule and where they now produce and sell the Thule Bike Protector.

See above post - you could alternatively try Mellow Velo

Hi Bira. Yes we did do a deal with Thule on this product so it is now exclusively available through them. If you don't come right, have a look at Mellow Velo cycles in Fourways, they had a set or two in store when i was there last in June.

Important consideration when using a gel type product/something with very high carb content is that often your gut needs to be trained in order to be able to handle the high amount of carbs because if you're not 'used to it', it can also cause GI distress. One blog talking to this on the Cadence site if of interest: https://www.cadencenutrition.com/blogs/news/training-your-gut-what-should-i-eat-on-race-day

Be mindful of fibre content if using these for racing/high intensity efforts

Hi @KNmtb If you're having trouble cleaning your helmet, we do have a new product on the market which is intended primarily for kit. It is an Enzyme Based wash, which is particularly effective in breaking down bacteria. It is also pH neutral so shouldn't irritate your skin, nor damage the helmet in any way. If you don't come right with some form of skin treatment, it could be worth having a look at: https://assmagic.co.za/products/ass-magic-kit-wash-1l

Couple of posts on the Cadence site which may be of interest: https://www.cadencenutrition.com/blogs/news *disclaimer we distribute the brand Keep it simple, the right carbs are your friend and you need to train your gut to be able to tolerate higher amounts of carb.

Couple posts/questions on Speen salf/milking cream and baby bum cream. Definitely some pro's and cons to the each of them. When we developed ASS MAGIC, we used what we thought were the best elements of each product and combined them into ours along with a couple of other key ingredients. Speen salf/milking cream - typically this would use Lanolin which is the oil/wax that is derived from sheep's wool. It has fantastic anti chafe properties and if used at the right concentration, will last long enough, but still be able to wash easily out of your chamois at less than 40 degrees centigrade - typically you don't want to wash technical apparel at too high temperature Baby bum cream - such as a Bennets for example has Zinc Oxide in it, this is what gives it the white colour and almost 'pastey' texture. This can help form a protective film over the skin whilst still allowing the skin to 'breath' and also has good healing properties.

Hi Cadenceblur, we have recently developed a Skin Repair cream, it is a cream like consistency rather than a gel and can be used on any chafed or irratated skin, sun burn, blisters - preferably not on open wounds, let them close first and then can be applied. More info here: https://assmagic.co.za/products/ass-magic-skin-repair-cream

Thanks for the feedback - a tube is on our radar for the future. We do also have the Travel Packs which come with 10 snap sachets

vaseline would have good anti chafe properties, longer term use may not be good for your chamois.
