Finished a gruelling 123 mile run yesterday 
including the Manchester100 and apart from soggy shorts (the rubber insert seemed to soak everything in) the seam for the insert rubs. Now I know it rubs and causes a bit of discomfort on rides of around 70/80mile and applied anti chauffing creme before but yesterday was at different level. I have a backside that looks like its been whiped
and could hardly sit on the bike the last 10 mile or so. Anyway the shorts aren't too big IMO, XL for a 32inch waist, perhaps a little tight round the nether region but maybe a little loose round the shoulders and at £55 a throw i'd rather cure the problem rather than get a new pair. Anyone else get reaction from the seams of these shorts or should i look for another brand? I would need a couple of plasters next time and that cant be right
Any creme i should apply to the insert, its manmade (are they all?), i know they used to have chamios leather ones.
Cheers
