how to reduce chafing
Well, in my experience theres not a lot you can do. Maybe road unicyclists will have better advice on this one. Basically most riders get chafing when they start, usually it goes away after a month or two and only really comes back after huge rides/whole days a competitions. One serious help is to get a good seat. A gel saddle, kh or velo seat should help. Since your in australia you can grab a velo saddle from www.unicycles.com.au for not too much money. If you already have one you might just need to work through it, if its a continuing problem after more than a few months riding you might consider vasoline or other products designed for chafing. Visit a chemist/pharmacy.

how to reduce chafing
I am also a suffer of chafing. In an ideal world I would grow another layer of skin on my inner legs... but in an ideal world I would also have wings and a built in wheel... Not wearing jeans while and I'm riding helps. I'm going to trim my KH seat to stop as much rubbing. I think it tends to disappear over time. Hope this helps AndyC -- andycookuk "Wisest is he who knows he knows nothing" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ andycookuk's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11138 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/46354 |

how to reduce chafing
Spandex cycling shorts will make a big difference. You wear them next to the skin, which means no underwear under them. You can wear shorts or pants over them. It could also be due to the way your ride. Do you squeeze the saddle as you ride? Are you tense when you ride or are you relaxed? Or it could be due to your physique and the shape of your upper legs and thighs or the natural width of your hip bones. -- john_childs john_childs (att) hotmail (dott) com Gallery: http://gallery.unicyclist.com/john_childs 'Unicycling Bookmark List' (http://backcountry.unicyclist.com/) :: 'World Clock' (http://tinyurl.com/a99y3) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ john_childs's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/449 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/46354 |
