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. -- TheObieOne3226 - Extreme Halfb*ker I won!!! I won!!! $535???

Then I'd suggest the b*ke shorts. They really do help. I was a convert as soon as I tried my first pair. -- paco - Proud owner of 2 opposable thumbs Sounds exactly like an orthodic support for shoes, only different.

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... -- muniracer - Hell On Wheel The Hell on Wheel Unicycle Gang owns you!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ muniracer's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/4339 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/29787 |

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. +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | Attachment filename: pict0003.jpg | |Download attachment: http://www.unicyclist.com/attachment/183493| +----------------------------------------------------------------+ -- Sofa - You Tu Tu Tuni?

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. -- Rowan - Bald Unicycler ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rowan's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3772 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/29787 |

KH saddle chafing???
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. -- Catboy - I enjoy the taste of dirt!

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. -- TheObieOne3226 - Extreme Halfb*ker I won!!! I won!!! $535???
