Butterbean Posted April 16, 2020 Share Yeah it's a bit silly to decide who needs cream for how long and when... Personally, I weight 125 kgs, and any time on the bike longer than 30 mins dictates the need for chamois cream. Yes I use high quality bibs. Yes I have my bike fitted to me. Yes I have a saddle that fits and is wide enough for my sitbones. I still need at least a light layer to prevent friction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grease_Monkey Posted April 16, 2020 Share As my bibs have deteriorated I have found the need for chamois cream to be ever on the increase. The Biogen one works as well for me as Ass Magic. Bikalot and Ndlovu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbradd Posted April 16, 2020 Share Bennets baby bum cream is amazing... It is hard to wash out on the first try, it's super oily... Which is great for the ride, your Mrs might be annoyed, however. If its soft enough for a baby's ass, it should be fine on yours. I've been using it for about two years without hassle. I used Bennetts for a bit, found it worked but very thick and as you say a mission to get out of the bibs. I reckon sudocreme would be better to get out, but not sure how well it will work, and is more expensive. I'll probably give the biogen one a go if I run out and don't find a suitable substitute at home (we have a few different baby bum creams lying around). https://www.dischem.co.za/biogen-shammy-cream-200g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrightJnr Posted April 17, 2020 Share When in need and I’m out of the proper stuff I’ve had good success with plain old Zambuk. In fact used to always ride with a small tub. Could use it for lip-ice as well. Just no double dipping ;-) Edited April 17, 2020 by WrightJnr BigDL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave303e Posted April 20, 2020 Share It is also a case of conditioning. There are likely guys on this thread who put on bib shorts and chamois cream for a 30 min session on the trainer or for a 20km bomb along the Spruit. There are also others who will only turn to bib shorts for anything over 90mins on the trainer or if it is gonna be 50km+ on the bike. The rest of the time normal running shorts work fine. But you have got to build to that slowly over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselnDust Posted November 20, 2022 Share Blue Steel Chafe Recovery cream. Brings new definition to ring sting but it works. PS: I see its no longer on the market but I've nicked this from my wife's vanity case and it also works https://clicks.co.za/eucerin_aquaphor-soothing-skin-balm-110ml/p/311937?gclid=Cj0KCQiAveebBhD_ARIsAFaAvrEXn2yY8YavtYsaJh2mQIzShf2n_7x9pG0jdXV3CGffvrHElXkoxj8aAg7nEALw_wcB Edited November 20, 2022 by DieselnDust ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
