SwissVan Posted February 25, 2011 Share WHY need repair cream...if you have used the cream in the first place? (R u impying that it does not work??) No not all, the chamois cream works and is intended to be used on the chamois after washing and the skin before riding. I’ve used the chamois cream before as an after ride / wash cream and it worked ok, and I suppose there might be an element of marketing involved with a repair cream. But in my experience the chamois cream feels more like a lubricant (reduces friction) whereas the repair cream has a more soothing effect on the skin. The repair cream seems do a better job of soothing / healing dry chaffed skin and pressure sores but it won’t work as a lubricant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underachiever Posted February 25, 2011 Share Try do 4 hours on Sat and 3 hrs on Sun on a IDT and then you will unnerstand. Or just talk to some of the regular epic riders.

mokganjetsi Posted March 1, 2011 Share tankman, methinks the right prevention will not delay pain & sores indefinitely - ride long enough and some level of repairs will be needed. i just got hold of the climb on! chamois cream and skin repair bars. amped to try it out!

Big H* Posted August 30, 2011 Share I am doing the Route 69 3-day stage race, starting tomorrow. I think I will need to use some bum cream. What shall I use? I quickly read through the posting and although your race is over and done by now there is one rule in cycling that you may not break, never, ever make any changes from your regular pattern with bum cream, supplements, new saddles and shoes or anything else that you have not tested well, right before an important event. This is really looking for trouble. Bum cream is like a saddle. Use the one that works the best for you and not the cream that cost the most or has the most fancy name or is the latest fashion. The only way to find out is to test it over time. I use Epizone E and have been using it for the past 8 years and it works well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGdp Posted September 1, 2011 Share Yes- IDT is worse on the bum than riding mtb for me, enough time on the saddle will eventually lead to a sore ass, its one of the cyclist's rites of passage(article in an older bicycling mag)Try do 4 hours on Sat and 3 hrs on Sun on a IDT and then you will unnerstand. Or just talk to some of the regular epic riders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
