Specific Bike Fit

[Karman de Lange]

Hi Gents,

 

Can someone please point me in the right/best position, looking for a bikefitting company in Cape Town that can help me with more spicifcly saddle sore prevention setup,i have had a few set ups but cant seem to shake sadle sores. 

 

 

Much Appriciated 

 

I suffered badly as well (3 different bikes, 5 saddles) , so  this season  I decided to stop using chamois cream completely  and now only get minor irritation  after >7 hrs cycle. Shorter rides 0 issues.   

 

So maybe try nothing . 

 

Also, don't use any creams to try heal the wounds afterword's as it  makes skin to soft and when you go cycle again rubs of the top protective layer letting the germs into the pours .  I use lavender  oil, dries out the skin nicely and perfect anti bacterial. (don't use lavender  more than 3 days in row, creates rash).  Savlon or setavlon  wil probably work as well.

 

edit:  Any antifungle cream will help alot as well with healing (nappy rash cream etc)

Interesting .. seems like there more than one type of saddle sore ...  mine was more inflamed pores than sheared skin pockets.
