Problems in THAT area for two rides in a row now means I can't ignore this any longer. On my last ride a couple of days ago I ascribed the chafing to wearing a medium chamois liner when I KNOW I need a small. Ok, my bad. Today I pulled out my smallest bibs which fit me like a glove so I know that wasn't the problem.

Same problem, I can't seem to ride more than 4-5 miles before the problem starts, and 7 is about all I can tolerate. It isn't sit-bone problems, it is chafing, pain, and just a bit of numbness in my girly bits. It has got to be one of two things - either my chemistry has changed and I need a more moist chamois cream (I use a very dry lube that's been great for the last year), or my saddle is starting to break down and I've got some compression issues.

The chamois cream is easy enough to check out, I will get something from my LBS and see if it takes care of the problem. As far as the saddle, I've been riding a SI LDY Gel Flow since I got this my Gunnar in 2011 and have around 2500 miles on it. It seems to me that I shouldn't have this kind of problem after 1.5 years....especially since I didn't ride so much over this last winter/early spring due to injury. Has anyone else had a saddle start to break down after such a short time?
