All Things Bikes and Tacos! (...and every vehicle imaginable)

I could understand that for sure. A few hours and mine is ripeeeee. I used baby powder haha

 

Bruh, I know those fully loaded climbs can be tough, but they aren't supposed to be THAT bad

 

Medicated Gold Bond in the chamois. Like sitting on a block of ice!

 

hm...idk about that!

 

LOL.

 

hah! little do you know I focus my power levels before every ride and pull a dragonball Z power level increase to go super saiyan...helps the taint.

 

98% of the time. i wont if im hiking laps at the jumps. maybe if im doing park laps, but my booty likes the cushion. maybe i need to figure out a better saddle setup before going chammy less

 

I ride with the butt pads. I don't use the gel though. I have one pair that is gel, I think, I wore them once and then never again. I like the foam. Not the gel.

 

I've got my saddle pointed down, I wouldn't say it's pointed down crazily, but I don't feel like I'm sitting on the long part of the seat either, it's comfy, however if I start to notice taint pain I will invest in some padded shorts. I just want my stuff to air out and air out well, I've literally been going commando for years now, not just on bikes. lol

Cheek meat is not sore over yesterdays 5 hour ride so I think I'm good.

 

Never ever have. Although i always wanted to see what they felt like. I generally do not get that much saddle soreness anymore. But i also do not go out on all day rides like some of you guys out west and in the more mountain-ous geographical locations (NJ Problemz). 1hr is the minimum, and probably 4hrs is a max being out on the trails for me in a day.

 

no one gets saddle sores with no chammy pads? is that a saddle issue on my part? after 4 days of 8-10 hours of riding the colorado trail i couldnt sit on a saddle for a week. thats with a fresh chammy the first 3 days

 

I don't think saddle would matter after being on a bike 32-40 hours in 4 days.

 

Not on my Mountain bike. But on my Gravel bike i will periodically get ass soreness.

Maybe the WTB Silverado on my Ripmo is just the TITs

 

After a 3 day weekend of riding bikes, my ass is glad to be back in the car for sure. One thing I have found that helps is once you get done riding, get out of that chamois as soon as possible.

I've also found that a lot of chafing can be potentially attributed to your saddle being just *slightly* too high, so your pelvis rocks side to side generating friction. I adjusted my Stache post down about a cm and it is so much better.

 

This might be my issue. Mostly happens on my mountain bike. Thought the sag would take care of it, but maybe it's still a bit too high.

I've done a couple tours and it wasn't as bad as this year. Maybe i just haven't ridden enough this year and my taint isnt steel anymore.

ill look into a silverado

 

I've been driving the wife's Accord that last two days, since the bike ride. Haven't bothered offloading the bikes from the Taco, that's my excuse for not taking the truck to work.

 

Thats a covid safe bench there

 

This is a painful conversation.

 

Chamois all day! Chamois cream was a magical discovery too. I don’t use cream all the time but it definitely feels nice when I do. I’m also the weird one that prefers just a bib with a baggie jersey. So much more room for activities when it’s hot out.

 

Chamois cream on day 2 or 3 of a riding weekend is a godsend
