Sometimes, the chamois/saddle combo isn't right. Do you have the same problem if you wear a different brand short and chamois?Originally Posted by bikerz

BikerZ... are you going to get rid of that Atola? I might be interested in taking it off your hands.

yeah - that was my first hopeful thought, but I've had the same issues with three separate shorts - 2 terrys and 1 aerotech. Granted the terry chamois is not so great - seams and so on, but the trouble area does not seem to be associated with the camois seams, so I don't think that's it. And since the shorts and the saddles are all about the same price, it's $60+ no matter what! Wish me luck! I might just needto start experimenting with chamois butter, bag balm, etc.Originally Posted by SadieKate
Hey Slinkedog - I was hoping that might be the case! I'll let you now after I've taken the new Koobi for a few rides...Originally Posted by Slinkedog
Hey Z! How's that Koobi treating your, er, you?
Hi,
New to posting here, have read a bit off and on since back into cycling more regularly.
But BikerZ, do you still have the chaffing problem?
I've see a lot of women with their seats too high, and the leg is stick straight at the pedal bottom, and hips rock. So if you rock your hips at all during the pedal stroke, or you don't have any bend in your knee at the bottom position, during the stroke your hips are moving, and so your butt is rubbing more against the seat, which might be causing the chaffing... And it might add to the pressure on the nose of the seat when you're in the drops.
