Just wanted to let you know that my referral code for De Soto is now live - it's 25% off your order! No returns though if you use the code so make sure you get the right size. If you want to code, message me and I'll send it over.
Aloha!

What if it's my skin not the saddle, shorts or fit? Rode 50 miles
yesterday, in addition to horrible allergy eyes, I'm now flame glow red on both upper legs, entire length, front to back, about 1" wide. The thought of wearing jeans today is frightening!
I noticed this problem getting worse last year. Will be getting re-fitted later this week. We will look at changing saddles. I'm riding a Specialized Jett 143. We'll lubed, multiple pairs of shorts. I'm concerned it's more a menopausal (I'm 58) issue of thinning, fragile skin. Anyone else noticed this problem and have suggestions.2011 Specialized Ruby Comp

Could it be that you're allergic to the chamois cream that you're using? Or is it definitely chafed, irritated skin?

What chamois cream are you using? I had tried something other than Body Glide (I might still try Lantiseptic), and it made the problem worse.

LBS sent me home yesterday with a Romin to try. On the trainer it appears I'm not rubbing on the sides with it. Will ride today (fingers crossed). I like the shape and the slight raised back. Really worried about the rock hard firmness. I have 30 days to try it.
