for what type of rides/duration are folks using these products ?
Just curious –How much of this gunk are you chaps applying?
Anything over half an hour. For my morning commute – 45 mins – I just wave my fingers at the pot and apply a tiny amount either side of the perineum.
If I’m doing a couple of hours training I’ll use a little more. And for 5/6 hours, I’ll be a bit more liberal (a good squeeze of toothpaste maybe, rather than a handful)
The Castelli dry lube stuff seems to require much less, and has excellent ‘staying power’.
For big adventures (all day in the saddle) I may take a dab of cream in some foil and apply half way though the day.
