Preventing Saddle Sores

I used to have saddle sores, touch wood I haven’t for a few months now. Incorrect saddle height. Positioning. Difference between TT saddle height and road bike. (use the same saddle on both) I was using cream every ride, now Im not at all. I’ve had sores which required self surgery, hot needle and boom…instant gratification. You cant continue to ride on them. Eventually they became too painful.

  1. Check your chamois though. If it doesn’t hold density anymore, ditch it.
  2. Shower and clean yourself properly.
  3. Wash your clothes every ride.
  4. Position of saddle and height.

4 simple steps.
