I know you didn't ask about what to do about chafing.....I just thought of it cause I used it yesterday. I've had a problem on longer rides in the hot weather because when my shorts are soaked with sweat the chamois edge rubs my thigh (this is not the seat) yesterday I dressed, was in a hurry and didn't see the body glide on the counter so grabbed the degree deoderant/anti-persperant amd rubbed that on....no problems.

I'm curious why you can't switch the seat?
Interesting tip. I'll stick to the body glide... unless I'm in a pinch like you were!

I would change seats, but the tri seat really is a bit too wide for me. On the tri bike I can get by on it because of being in aero position. But if I'm sitting up the extra width will be noticed.

I love the size and shape of my roadie's seat... it just needs more CUSHION on it. I did buy a cover for it, which gets a VERY LITTLE BIT Of cushion to it. But I need to have the bike refit to get it on there, as it raises me up just enough to make my legs not feel just right.

I guess I just need to put the cover on and get refit... eh? It's just so hard to find the time with all the training. But I know... I need do it.
