Anybody get it?

I never have, but I think I finally did.
What do you do about it?

not sure. i am affected as well.

i have holes in my 511s to prove it

trueager:

big problem especially during summer. I wear a pair of padded cycling boxers every once in a while they cut down on it enough.

Yeah, I started wearing a really short pair of biking shorts under the bro shorts. It was hotter, but it was way more comfortable.

I would have just worn the bike shorts but I couldn't stand Ian whistling at me all the time.

chamois cream...or i use Bag Balm. Works great.

i wear short, chamois-padded spandex under my shorts. I never get chaffing and no one knows i'm wearing spandex 'cept me. and now you....sort of.

Max is NOW!:

jvandub:

I thought bag balm was for men.

Keven just said she that uses it, not where.

i think it's for cow utters

I understand that for short rides around town spandex isn't the best choice, walking around without a bike and spandex can garner some interesting looks. But if your riding for an extended period of time, why don tight jeans and a tee-shirt when the most comfortable thing to wear is spandex? Its like everyone doesn't want to admit to riding around for hours on end so they camouflage the fact by looking like a commuter. And chamois are meant to be used in conjunction with chamois cream, it makes rides much more comfortable.

on rides shorter than 40 miles I have never had problems but started using it on longer rides. It's also a good excuse to cup your balls.

When I got seamless boxer brief, I was like, "hai."

When I got cycling shorts, I was like, "hai, hai."

When I got Assos bibs, I was like, "woot woot."

The end.

my old swobo saddle really did me in.
new brooks, not so much...still waiting for it to be broken in.

huss:

My Brooks is so smooth...i

yeah true a good saddle helps.

a shave and a hair cut helps me, and in the summer a generous dash of baby power under and around " the fellas" keeps you from getting the dreadful swamp nuts.

but if you don't barber, your gonna get 1970's balls and if you talc on those i guess those would be 70's ghost balls..

i hear the ultimate is bib shorts, but I'm afraid

There larger than "60s balls"!!

what he said.

bibs rule.

70's balls is like imagining burt reynolds balls or waylon jennings balls....hairy matted stinky shit smeared manly balls.makes me fucken cringe...

dude, lycra is amazing.

everyone should get over it and pick up a skin suit. the most liberating freedom. any and all movement is undrestricted and when it's nice out it feels great.

just do it.

i have worn through some serious denim...

i have holes in every crotch of every pant i own...and a saddle burn to match

pearl izumi padded with the red insides are highly recomended.
i usually wear nike no seam spandex as underwear.... there perfect and really help with chaffing

but for long rides, like spring water and such chamois creme is an absolute must.

uhm... well.

ive completely worn through my cheap mondays... both of which have spandex in them, perf for riding

but i must say my nudies, which are wax coated raw denim.... i dont think theyll ever surrender to chaffing. theyre indestructable

ounces? really? does it get that technical... i guess i could expect that from you haha

jesus christ, you guys are comparing demin ounces? what has this thread come too.

i just buy my pants from value village

bibs are nice. I swear by them. but for city riding dickies and some nice paul frank undies do the trick
