More Saddle Sore Remedies On The Way
OK. So, finding what is not working perversely moves me closer to finding what will work; a cure for saddle sores. I know bag balm helps but it won't cure saddle sores alone. Something else very sinister must be going on. I'd like to try one thing at a time so I know what finally gives some relief but with my 300 mi RedSpoke (see my blog jimsbigride.blogspot.com) ride across the state of Washington coming up, I'm running out of time (and patience). My next step is to replace the 143 cm saddle with a 148 cm saddle and at the same time try the Reskin pads out. I'll take a short 40 mile ride to test the new configuration. The weather is still hot. I'll do without my two 20 oz water bottles but take the 60 oz Camelback with me. I've changed the saddle and got my level out and put my saddle in a 100% level configuration. No uptilt or down tilt, just level. I've taken out one of the Reskin pads and put the sticky side down on my chamious. I lubed up with the balm and headed out. What will I find?
