Mackie Posted November 7, 2012 Share Always go commando and use chamois cream, I like Mark 2, but plenty okes use milking cream, dubbin, fissan paste etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swim.Bike.Run Posted November 7, 2012 Share I use cheap baby bum cream, but you'll have to use fissan or some proper "skin repair" cream to get you skin on par, first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted November 7, 2012 Share Your saddle too high or too low? Definitely no undies as the seams can eina you. Chamois cream highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Puncheur, I have not adjusted my saddle recently - started having the problem now that it is warmer (sweating more), will get chamois cream.

tombeej Posted November 7, 2012 Share From Dischem - milking cream. Can also mix with an antibacterial cream, or an oil like arnica for extra smoothness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
