Thanks!

Brave Soldier Friction Zone. Works the best for me and I have tried pretty much everything. It is great for triathlons because it doesn't seem to come off during the swim and I believe it contains an antibiotic.

Is this a sign? Are you coming back?

I have only tried one, and most of the time I forget to put it on. Today's 65+ miles I forgot it again, and I am a bit sorry now.

Yeah, I have been getting out there slowly...

I love getting paid more at work for the increased responsibilities that I have been given but I hate that those responsibilities make it rather difficult to get on my bike...

So what kind do you always forget to use? Does it work when you remember to use it?

I miss you guys, hope to ride again with you all soon...

I like to use Chamois BUTT'r as an everyday chamois lube. I make one application in the am before my ride to work and it is still good to go for the afternoon ride home.

If I'm going on a long ride, or if I start to get the beginning of a saddle sore, I use bag balm and Destin to get rid of them ASAP.

I've tried the Assos creme but can't see much value added for the incresed cost,

Body Glide seems to work for me. I initially used it to prevent chaffing from my wetsuit then tried it for biking and it works just fine so far.

I agree Body Glide is the best.

I ride Endurance rides and the Body Glide rocks.

E3 Cycling Frictionless Chamois Cream is the one I use.

Although I have not had any issues with it, it is a bit wet going on.

I like the idea of using Body Glide, never thought of that one.

OK - that's enough on this topic... We need to stop this one before it turns to technique ;o)

Have to agree that Body Glide is the best, if not plain old Vaseline seems to work well although it doesnt always come out of the Chamois if you use a lot of it.
