the-smiling-buddha All my early knicks had a chamois that was essentially flat
that is what I want some of them old fashioned nothing to fancy nice bit of chamois abd a tub of cream...;)

You can still get them but I can't suggest any (see other post somewhere).
As for cream, the expensive option is the Assos stuff which roadies use by the bucketload but there's cheaper options.
I recall some peeps back home using some kind of baby cream for nappy rashes or something silly. The guy who wrote French Revolutions used something along those lines too. Savlon? Doesn't sound right.. Super Glue? hmm.. not that either..
