KH saddle chafing???

Does anyone know how to stop the chafing that I now assoscioate with
hopping while using a KH saddle? I've tried everything short of b*ke
shorts but nothing seems to work.

Then I'd suggest the b*ke shorts. They really do help. I was a convert
as soon as I tried my first pair.

Sounds exactly like an orthodic support for shoes, only different. Would
this be called a butt-thodic support? or glutethodic?

yes, b*ke shorts help, but i think that just riding and hopping more
will fix the prob. i used to ride a miyata and i just got a kh (onza)
seat and it chaffed at first, but after 20 or so hours of riding it went
away. now the miyata kinda chaffs...

As recommended on this forum, Vaseline Creamy (looks like Nivea cold
cream, not the 'other' kind of vaseline) really helps with chaffing.

It feels pretty slimy putting on, though.

As discovered by myself when dealing with chaffing (time in the saddle,
not due to hopping, but I'd still give it a try)

Throw a handful of baby powder (or it's dirt cheap equivelant..what I
used when chaffing was an issue...cornstarch) in your shorts (front and
back)

Either will most likely help you out.

It could be to do with your seat height. During the NZUni weekend I
experienced worse chafing than I usually get from my airseat. I think it
was because the saddle was lower than I like to have it. When the seat
is low, it rubs against your legs more when you hop, and when it is
higher there is less movement. Perhaps try putting the seat up a bit, it
usually feels better for riding when it is high.

Out of all of these i would reccomend cornstarch. Its odorless unlike
baby powder and its not a creme so if your mom/roomate walks in while
applying it they wont think your having some fun with yourself and its
dirt cheap and a little goes along way and it washes out of any clothes
without a trace AND its fun to squish in your hands...the cornstarch
that is. Its never failde me when chaffing was an issue even after 15
mile rides on the on a miyata seat.

I hope you like neighborhood dogs

I do have the seat too low, but since it is for trials, raising it would
reduce my hopping abilities. I don't wanna buy b*ke shorts and I don't
wanna use butt'r or some kindof lube, so I guess my only option is to
get used to it.

No....get bike shorts

You say you don't want to. You must no have ever worn them.

If you have worn them, and don't want them, you must simply just be
crazy
