Just bought a new pair mail order, they didn’t come with the ass cream and wash sample that previous ones did, shame as I wanted the small tub of cream for taking touring.

Are they still meant to be included. or do they not bother any more?

It might depend on which ones you bought, although I can’t confirm. I bought a super expensive set in 2008 which came with cream and cleaner, and then a cheaper set in 2010 which didn’t come with either.

Non-conclusive I know but that’ all I can offer…

i thought it always depended on the model, the “cheap” ones didn’t come with anything.

They weren’t cheap, Assos TK.434 S5 3/4’s, and they are rather nice too 😀

I spotted on Wiggle the other day that there was a small note saying that the Assos shorts no longer came with detergent / chammy cream.

bomba is correct – I just got pair delivered this am and wiggle included a comment to say that assos shorts no longer come with cream and detergent

how about the wash bag? are they not including that as well?
