i've never had seat-specific ball-bag-issues but just recently i've noticed a rather unpleasant phenomenon that i can only describe as "cock-chaffing".
something about my position my my new bike (genesis flyer), the ball-shrinkingly cold weather and jeans means that after an hour or more in the saddle my jeans start to rub a raw patch at the base old the old feller. just on the top. it's really not pleasant. it go so bad a few weeks back that it drew blood. basically it means i spend a lot of time shifting about wincing and sustaining weirdly unnantural riding positions on those late night slogs home across town. i really can't figure it out. my jeans aren't tight and i've been riding other bikes in them for a year or so without any probs so i can only assume it's a riding position thing.
yesterday i actually tucked my thermal tee into my pants to alleviate the issue (it sort of worked). sometimes i think i'm just too cool.
yup.
