Chamois moving around
Postby shann » Sat Jan 19, 2013 10:26 pm
I am having a bit of a problem with the chamois in my 3/4 length nicks and I wonder whether you can offer advice. I find that after I've been riding for 15km or so, my chamois starts sliding forward, so that I've got almost nothing under my bum, and the wider 'bum' bit is half under my girl bits, with the narrow front part sliding upwards and giving me a classy 'man in girls pants' look. This is obviously annoying, uncomfortable, and difficult to adjust while riding. What am I doing wrong? I suspect it's a fit issue, but am unsure whether my nicks are too big or too small.

My wife reckons Sugoi womens knicks are best - says they're even better than her expensive Assos knicks.

I like that one Shaun!Mulger bill wrote:Probably not your scales Shann. It's quite likely that you haven't lost weight, just moved it to a more efficient location. Congratulations!

Any suggestions on good ones, or comments on which ones to avoid?

Yeah pretty sure about that. To be honest I'm just getting so frustrated; the guys I'm riding with have no problems and just pedal all the time, and I have to keep stopping to readjust. It's not really helping me keep up with them.Mulger bill wrote:Sure you haven't been repositioning some more weight in the meantime?

Cheers

Maybe a dfifferent brand might suit your shape better? Speculation of course, I've never ridden in womens knicks.

Have u been set up professionally? Or by a reputable lbs when purchasing your bike? Are u getting sore anywhere, besides the wandering chamois issue?

I have just moved my saddle back a bit and put it back to level, I'll give that a whirl and see how it goes.Dr_Mutley wrote:Is it a bike fit issue? Even if the Knicks are too big, how they are sitting when u first sit on the saddle is how they should be when u get off, unless u have excessive movement on the saddle when pedaling.
