question on chamois cream
someone mentioned that they apply to their shorts the night before to let it soak in and then repeat on them and shorts in the morning
I've only ever applied to me and don't use excess
should I be putting on the shorts too and using loads?
(waits for smut)

Think that advice was me. For shorter stuff (up to half iron/50TT) I just slap a bit on me.
100 TT, 12 hour TT, Ironman then definitely I’m working it into my chamois for a day or two before the event as well as slapping generously over me. You can’t have too much but you can have too little for these distances.

I had always assumed that working it into the chamois was from the olden days when it was actually made from chamois. Didn't realise it was still A Thing. I always smear it on myself (but I've never cycled further than 105km / 5.5 hours).

exactly AC! I smear too as I am cheap and don't want to use much but think I will try more!

As soon as I am down to a spare tub I order more.
So 1 in use
1 in the cupboard
2 on order
I value my undercarriage too much not to use a lot of it
I have used 9 tubs of assos in 17 weeks

I always have a spare of everything now since covid as even general shopping is touch and go sometimes.
I've used 1 tub in err about 4-5 mths so maybe use more!

My assos cream is slightly mentholated, I think. It tingles warmly, which was a bit weird to start with but strangely compelling now!
