V12man Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Been in the same situation a few times, my tactic is to take my kit off in the garage and then stroll into the house in my birthday suit. Always fun.Especially when your wifes friends have come for early coffee..... :clap:

FlandersZA Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 On the subject of the sore arse - People tell me I'm mad but I don't use padding and never have, nor creams or any of that. My bike is a DS though so maybe that helps. I started riding with normal baggies and just kept going like that. I'm probably lucky in that I just never suffered from sore or chafed undercarriage issues. Maybe my syncros saddle and I were just destined to be together? Standard baggies only last about 3000km before being worn through so I got my first proper pair of fox rangers in December which I'm loving, although the first thing I did was to remove the padding. We'll see how many km they're good for. My longer trail rides are over 100km with the longest being 160+km and the last thing on my mind, when it comes to what is hurting, is my posterior.

I used to cycle many years ago without padding and i was fine but when i got back it was a problem. It hurt and still feels uncomfortable when i go for more than an hour.

wildwindfr Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Loving this. Enjoy the kids. Had to replace my girls tube yesterday after pumping it on Sunday. It just burst while I was getting my gear. Sounded like a gun shot in the house and the old slime spattered everywhere. Soon 40km will be easy.
