Is this stuff actually common, or am I the only guy that slathers up before a ride?

I get some strange looks, but I find Im much more comfortable, you know, lubed up...

:biggrin:

I just bought some for my first solo 24. Never used the stuff but I am told that it REALLY helps when you're riding long distances/times.

I sense a new quote signature appearing any time now...

Are you now ending all your titles in : ?

 

[BurlyShirley]

I think so. Yeah. Recently anyway:

 

[BigMike]

Tmi! T-mofrikin-m-i!

 

[OGRipper]

Yeah I learned long ago that stuff is key for longer days in the saddle, especially on the road. I like the Assos brand.

 

[binary visions]

Only BurlyShirley has a custom title that can't be made worse by this thread.

 

[BurlyShirley]

Chief Ass Slatherer?

 

[LOOnatic]

Oh man i swear you guys aren't going to believe this ..........
Down south we have a product called Boudreux's Butt Paste.
Honest.

 

[Echo]

I use it for road rides and 24 hour races. Not for normal everyday MTB rides though.

 

[ktmsx]

A friend I used to race dirtbikes with would always lube up...it was always a good laugh in the morning becuse we would all say the same thing... no double dipping...now my nephew makes fun of me for the same reason...

I've heard narlus is sponsored by AstroGlide...

I'm pretty much just riding pavement these days, but have to say... if you need it (at least for road) then you're riding with the wrong shorts, saddle, technique, and/or fit.

Since I found the right shorts and saddle for me and made some adjustments, I never -- not even a little -- get sore, numbness, rash, anything even on rides over five hours.

So no, I don't use any butter.

And how's that working out for you?

Actually, I use pretty much the best shorts you can get when I do road or 24's. I don't remember the exact model but they are Pearl Izumi and they are about $150. They are extremely comforable and I could probably survive without the butter when wearing them.

However the butter also helps the chamois last longer, and even if you personally don't like it or feel you need it, the fact of the matter is that you are in a very small minority of serious road cyclists.

Really? I actually don't follow or read about the sport that much... so I made an assumption.

As for making the chamios last longer, well, I don't really like the feel of the butter -- probably cuz I've only used it a few times and haven't gotten used to it -- so I'd rather just buy shorts more often.

I my Descente bibs.

Yeah definitely if it ain't your cup of tea, no reason to slather up just cuz other people do.

I damn sure don't wanna drop bank on good riding shorts any more than necessary though

do you need a pair with a natural chamois to use the butter or does it work with the synthetics, and coolmax ones? I would think it would counteract the coolmax! ?

 

[narlus]

N8 knows more about anal sex than i do, but i'm positive i've done more long epics than he has, and i swear by this:

it's kept me from getting nasty saddle sores for the western xc trips where we ride for 5-6 days straight, every day.

I would only use butter on natural chamois.

dude, put it on before you're standing at the trail head with your riding partners

 

[DirtyDog]

Shaving your ass is just as effective and cheaper. (or so I hear)

 

[I Are Baboon]

Are you supposed to apply it to your crack or to the chamois? If the prior, do you use your bare hand or a sock or something?

 

[BurlyShirley]

haha, I just put it on the Chamois, but its funnier to say "Slather up" IMO.

 

[binary visions]

No no, the problem is that he shows up at the trail head, covered in ass butter, but sans pants.

 

[BurlyShirley]

Is that your recurring dream? Shave the brows and "maybe" we'll talk.

 

[llkoolkeg]

Perhaps I just have a macho hangup or something, but I would rather cultivate a calloused and leathered burlap beanbag than crisco-up my ballzakk bits before a ride. The very concept seems so nasty to me and used in conjunction with chamois pants, I bet it'd feel like riding in Depends after falling victim to Montezuma's Revenge. Worse yet, what if you inadvertently got the bollocks balm mixed up with your Flex-all or Icy-Hot?

 

[Secret Squirrel]

Icy hot + ballzakk = Baaaaddddd time for squirrel....thought it was going to be like Gold Bond....boy was I wrong.

yup...that's also what I use before long XC rides... also works for me.

here is a great article from Keith Bontrager about this topic:

This thread has unexpected results.

I no longer wish to ride a bicycle.

Thank you all very f'n much.

Yes, it feels like you sh!t yourself. Rather liberating actually.
