Chamois cream -

[eddief]

maybe better to stickum in junk strap.

I've been using Enzo's Buttonhole for the last few years and it's been working for me. I've used Bag Balm in the past, but have concluded that it's a little too greasy. I've got this little fold of fat that ends up causing lots of friction and then saddle sores. A little smear of Enzo's on that side of the chamois has worked to prevent the chafing.

Thank you gents - it's much appreciated.

I've always wanted to use a good bib short but being skinny and 6'4" make it near impossible to find some with long enough shoulder straps that aren't too large around the waist.

I'll try out a few of your suggested creams and ointments and with any luck things will stay put a bit better.

Thanks again,

dave

Threads like these make me appreciate being “a girl” ...said with a grin.

All these suggestions are no good. What you need is a real solution: JB Weld. You are welcome.

As for the variety, as if there would be any other option given the end use application:

You might want to try this site for custom bib shorts (https://www.boure.com/customfit.html)

Man, this thing worked like a champ in a saddle sore i had, those like bloody ones you know.. sealed and good to go for those 150 miles epic rides. Little bit stiff but works.

Assos XLG if you can try on a pair. If too short, try TIR.

Aerotech makes decent bibs in tall sizes. I'm 6'5" 200# and wear a large tall. If you are thinner a medium tall may be the ticket... or check out the boure custom option mentioned above.

Adjustable suspenders and a short? Something used back in the day and I used for a bunch of years.

I looked at the Assos site and my wast size says size large, my weight says XL and my height says XXL as I recall. Hard to know where to draw the line.

What is the TIR? I saw that listed but didn't stumble on what it meant.
