I've stumbled across this very helpful web site as a result of doing a search for this exact problem. I've been road biking now for about 2.5 months and just started having some pain in the tender parts after the last 3 or so rides. I've tried tipping my saddle forward, as well as moving it forward (which I needed to do for my knees anyway). These adjustments helped somewhat, but there is still soreness that feels like its from too much rubbing. I'm curious to check out this lube stuff. I think I will try a new pair of shorts before I try a new saddle since I'm still reeling from the cost of my bike. Thanks for everyone's suggestions!
