Recommend me an undercarriage lube..

Castrol GTX.

Oil is too small a word for it.

Germoloids is good if you are feeling a slight bit of pain before a ride. It numbs.

Undercarriage lube does seem to be a major concern for many - bit surprised no one has come out with a variant of the thing I think was called scotoiler.

Come on guys!
"scotoiler"
There just begs to be a product suggestion called "Scrotoiler"!

If it doesn't exist already, that's:

These people are bringing it out once the temperatures rise://

They were exhibiting (themselves?) At that trendy london bike show at olympia a year or two ago.

Honest.

I did see one person approach the stand.

In my old fashioned view, society is well on the way to going to the dogs (bollox?) When such products even exist.

It's a brave new world.

Probably a very upright and outstanding member of the cycling fraternity.

Perhaps they were looking for my alternative product Scrotlube©®™?

As the title says. Don't fret, I'll apply it myself.
Is Sudocreme just as good as the cycling specific lubes on longer distance rides?

Bag Balm works really well. It's a dairy farm use product for cow udders (the "bag") and contains petroleum jelly, lanolin and antibactierials. Comes in a 7 oz tin and lasts a long time. Look for it at a farm and feed store.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I might just pass on the udder rub..
Probably cheaper than cycling specific stuff, though!

while I applaud a creative approach to swerving the bike specific marketeers, I have to ask if you have ever used this stuff.

If so, more agricultural tips welcome.

I've used, I think horse Mercurochrome (red stuff?) on a bad foot blister.
Does that count?

Of course I use it. Have a tin under the sink right now. Here's an article on using it in your shorts:

Another vote for vaseline - been using it for years and never gives a problem. In fact, there`s been the odd occasions when I`ve forgotten to apply it and gone out thinking i`ll get away with it only to a chafing!

Another question tho, is how much do you actually apply. I have a friend who uses some posh stuff but he goes through tubes and tubes of it, (heaven knows how he stays on the saddle) whereas a tub of vaseline will last me months, just don`t double dip!
