Can't believe there isnt a thread about embro on here, so I've decided to revive this one.
I recently discovered the warm tingly joys of embrocation, bought some of this stuff the other day:
I'm finding though that it doesn't actually start to get 'hot' until after about 4 hours or so. Once applied I can appreciate the tingling and I can't say my legs are cold out but on using this stuff the first time on Sunday, It wasnt until I got off the bike after about 2 and a half hours riding tht my legs suddenly started to burn. Not to mention in the post ride bath!. Fucking hell I can see why they say you should not get any on your balls.
They say apply half an hour or so before you ride but 4 hours to start getting proper hot?
Anyone else here used this stuff?
