Is it inevitable that no matter how careful we are and how much vaseline or ANTI-CHAFTM we use, we all inevitably end up with a rash? Is there anyone on this forum who has been riding a good amount of time who hasn’t rashed?

  • In 20 odd years of riding "rash" hasn't been a problem. Never used vaseline, chamois cream or anything else Sweat burns from two cheap rubbish saddles yes rash no

  • It happens to us all eventually, it’s just a matter of when

    I only started having to do this when I began riding in wearing those tight denim shorts that GB lent me....

    Worth it though. You pull them off so well!

  • Pretty much. I told him they'd make him cycle faster. (Even as fast as me.) Never saw them again. Clearly they're getting good use...

    If you lot are getting a nasty little rash you've been sticking it somewhere you shouldn't have :P

  • Ah, I remember this! Banter. I thought this had been expunged from this forum as it didn't generate income!
