Underachiever Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 +1 +1 The same product is at Dischem. Called Milko Balm, Emulsified lanolin, at probably 20% of the price of Assos. R70 odd for a BIIGG tub.
fubarza Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Assos Chamois Cream is most certainly the best, we ride almost everyday at least 60km+ MTB and I never had any problems....but it's quite expenses though. You might be able to get a sample tube from your local bike shop free of charge which will last you for more than 3 days.
headhunter Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Jajija (spelling something like that)....Bovine milking balm available at DisChem....good for the cows good for your ass. In yellow and black tubs of 500ml for about R70. Pictures of cows on it.
Just Keep Pedaling Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Milko Balm? Now what is THAT normally used for?
Spinnekop Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Melk salf? What is its normally used for? Melk koeie daarmee.... Works well. The Sani2C guys put it out by the buckets to the funriders....no double dipping allowed! That said, on a stage race I'll use Mark II. Works very well.....but in essence much of the same compared to speensalf/melksalf. Buyer manufacturer.
Just Keep Pedaling Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 "we ride almost everyday at least 60km+ MTB" Wow. How do you manage that (time wise, that is)?

Mark II does work well, but it is water based I think, where speensalf is (oil) lanolin based, so it can withstand being "washed away" by the sweat a bit better.
'Dale Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Seriously. Use Assos. Its the Ferrari of bum creams.Yes.Got anti-bacterial properties which will take care of your bum and, thus, your performance. I do not use anything else...
bontie Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Bayer - Milko balm. Same price as Assos - the tub is bit bigger though. Teammate laughed at me initially- On day 3 he peeped out of his tent and said - "Kan ek bietjie van daai melksaf van jou leen" The rest is history
KnobbyMech Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Where is the nearest agri store in CT? Bloemfontein Ferro 1
Azi Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Bennets Baby Bum Cream...no sH*t +1 - I use it when running for chafing, works like a bomb!
Cassie Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Go to the Agri store and ask for: Melksalf lig-pienk. Costs R35 for a tub, and works magic! Just apply a big amount. +1 Yup!! Pure lanolin....goodness from the sheeps wool to your butt... That's probably the main ingredient in the Assos cream as well...@ 10x the price!!
DirtyFrank Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 Bayer - Milko balm. Same price as Assos - the tub is bit bigger though. Teammate laughed at me initially- On day 3 he peeped out of his tent and said - "Kan ek bietjie van daai melksaf van jou leen" The rest is history +1 , Also someone mentioned Bepanphen nappy rash cream which is great if you have to treat chafe marks. There is a cheaper milking cream which is called MADAJI ( Yellow container) but Bayer Milko balm is `richer` as it contains lanolin. Both contain Chlorohexedine which is an antibacterial agent. No need to add any Bactroban. Obviously Assos is lovely but it` very expensive. PS : I wish they would redesign the Milko balm container as it is a bitch to get your hand in when the contents are almost depleted.
Tjokkits Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 +1 Yup!! Pure lanolin....goodness from the sheeps wool to your butt... That's probably the main ingredient in the Assos cream as well...@ 10x the price!! yep but make sure you say LIG PIENK, some time ago I opened the bottle the lady offered as being the best (she did not know what i am getting it for) and it was BRIGHT RED, she was completely bewildered when i explained it will stain my pants Ferro 1
Renier82 Posted February 24, 2011 Posted February 24, 2011 some1 posted a link a while ago which stated that the milking creams have an ingredient which when expires can be seriously bad for you. not sure how true it is?havnt used mine ever since ;(
