Nope. I got some clotrimazole cream prescribed from the Doc that seemed to have helped but I still don't know exactly what the problem was!

Sent you a request on strava

Lets hope the pain doesnt come back

Clotrimazole? That's used for athlete's foot and thrush, both fungal infections.

Please Sir, what is a charge spoon? Does it use mains or DC current?

A family of Charge Spoons out for a ride yesterday....

 

[gavroche]

What? Did you use all of them?

 

[cyberknight]

Glad you got sorted , charge spoons are a good choice and i found them comfortable as well.I have had problems with my bike fit and it took me about a month of fiddling to get it right again.

Well done @jazloc for not giving up.
Your stubbornness is a character trait that will serve you well in life (imho)

I'm going to do the same route tonight and see if I can get it done in under an hour then next time I'll try and find some hills... just to please @Rasmus

Ah ha! Thank you for enlightening me. Charge spoons look expensive, but I wouldn't want to eat my porridge with one :-)

Not especially. I use one on my 'round town' bike as I can afford a new one if it gets vandalised/ stolen/ whatever. I did have 2 (but sold one). If you want one shop around and check second-hand sources.

I know a number of people who have found them excellent for al their riding. (My backside finds them comfortable for up to about 30 miles/ 3 hours riding. Any longer and it has to be a Brooks).

I said that because they appear to be covered in leather. Is it synthetic then?

There's a synthetic leather + crmo rail version for around £20 and a real leather and titanium rail version for £70.

Alright, I'm home from todays ride. It did not go well. It was going fine up until the ten mile mark... my jockey wheel flew out of my derailleur. After spending 45 minutes at the side of the road picking up pieces, I managed to find the jockey wheel, the screw and one washer. I managed to get everything fixed (minus one washer) and head home.

Strava ride for today - http://app.strava.com/activities/58241998

I also forgot to turn it on at certain points

Too much power

Thanks for that. I thought it would be more for the higher spec.

At present, just starting out after a long break due to disability, I have a gel saddle suited to the size of by backside. I am truly hoping that said backside will reduce in size and I can get a saddle which looks a bit more 'cool', and not so much ' my Lord that woman's got a fat arse'.

OT I've been looking through the threads concerning pants or no pants under padded cycling shorts. I just bought some Altura gel pro ones yesterday and never having worn dedicated cycling kit before, the 'issue' has never come into my mind.
Before I had to stop work I was a theatre nurse and had seen it all. Truly, 30 years ago I had a woman on the slab who had her pussy dyed green. Above was a tatoo that read 'keep off the grass'.

Anyway, I can't decide whether to go out with no knickers on. Spose I should try it and then decide.

Jazz, without a shadow of any doubt, you are a one man disaster area.


Hope you get bike runiing well and start enjoying it again.
FWIW stick with the spoon, they do take a while to bed in. I recently swapped mine over and the newer one is only just feeling right after quite a few miles.

Well, at least you never got a sore bum
You are doing better than me with the Strava: got it on my phone a few days ago, never once managed to remember to turn it on yet
