Cycling Short Recommendation Wanted

Pearl Izumi makes a nice pair of shorts without too much padding. http://www.biketiresdirect.com/produ...cool-bib-short


I recently bought a pair of Luis Garneau (sp?) shorts. The orange padding looks similar to your PI picture. The padding isn't too thick, but it's abrasive. It's downright painful after just ten miles of riding. I never had that problem with imitation Chamois.

Define "excess".

More than 1cm. And non abrasive.

the temperature of the air in drier is much higher. (The thermal fuse
n my dryer blows at 400-500F exhuast temp, I think). Once the water
is evaporated from clothes, they can get hot quite quickly, which
shrinks many things. leather will crack if dried rapidly. Things
in the drier are also tumbled, w hich can damage other things.

you looked over the butt sores at But Seriously ?

available bacteria in badly maintained commercial dryers where the establishment installed 'save water devices' recycling rinse water into your goat skin.

drying steps cudbe rolling skin in paper towels, squeezing, hosing with a hair dryer. Outside air in sunshine not downwind from Pepper Ridge Farm or a lawn filled with dog **** is prob mpre anti biotic than your own dryer unless ura scrupulous.

see if your goat skin maker disallows isopropyl alcohol as found at the super-duper.

Iso will dissolve germ cell walls on contact, poss damage viri. A cupor 2 per load will disinfect to removing odor buildup and I guess germ overload.

I kayak and wear gortex dry suits with gaskets on arks and neck. I stink after 2 paddling days. After 3 I am downwind.

Kokotat does not allow iso on their Goretex suits. That would be AAA, wipe pits and crotch maybe the bears wouldnlt throw rocks after 2 days

This solution is recommended in place of iso...I have not tried it

If your skin maker, and you can callem, allows iso then wiping off with iso once...twice following with dry paper towel should kill off surface bacteria.

The skins, I have never seen one, are closed cell ? does not absorb water ? then bacteria would be on surface and in cracks in the skin's surface....like maybe skin structure is icosahedronal and the edges harbor bacteria, e..coli, and intestinal lubricants mixed with sweat.

I hiked over the burned out area above SD in the Cleveland Nat Forest abrading a hair follicle inside my thigh. Camp has a AAA shower and I did scrub clean. That hair follicle infected with prob staph aureus. Cutting it out cost 1000+.

The process toward cellulitis then septicemia may take but 36 hours. The staph is both air breathing and body fluid converting to anaerobic states. The colony excretes a yellow white ceiling over their site making ineffective the dumping iodine, una equipped antibios on them. Uneeda strong prescription acne ointment to think about killing them.

I could see it, immediately knew what was happening there. The But Seriously people do not know and did not see it.

What's the clubby scuttlebutt from Radoneur et al ? Goo search sez Boonen suffers.

Real chamois is easy to look after. All you need do after washing and

Do they have "pure soap" in Australia? We don't seem to have it here
any more. We used to have several of the traditional "soaps for fine
raiment" but now it is all "SUPER stuff, gets it CLEAN!"


Though I don't know how pure this soap is, it seems to work fine.

I like the same. Bought some online a while back, but I can't remember
the brand. If I remember to look, I'll let you know in about 10 hours.


Mine are Nalini brand. All black except for a small logo. Thin
imitation chamois.

I had a look at local shops and I can buy "Pears Transparent Soap"
which seemed the closest thing to real pure soap. Then I read the
label and it contains all kinds of chemicals :-(

But I can't get real chamois shorts either so I suppose the real soap
would be surplus to requirements anyway :-)

Is that a local Australian brand? And are they sold mail-order
anywhere?
