Too bad I learned about the "Chamois cream the Embro" the.....uhm....warm way. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=124#post-736 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 16:18:39 +0000 JonC 736@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Now you've gone and done it. Embrocation talk. My wife and kids run through the house..."daddy has the smelly stuff on"! I use it by the "BP" barrel full. Meaning, if I say there might be some on my legs as I type would be a gross understatement...sore hammy? Embro. Sore shoulder? Embro. Cold/wet ride? Embro. Sinuses clogged? Embro.I could go on here but will save it for a witty Blog post some day. </p> <p>Brands to use:</p> <p><a href="http://www.madalchemy.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.madalchemy.com/</a></p> <p><a href="http://northwestkneewarmers.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">http://northwestkneewarmers.wordpress.com/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.rapha.cc/shop/skincare" rel="nofollow">http://www.rapha.cc/shop/skincare</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.winstonsbrand.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.winstonsbrand.com/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.dz-nuts.com/catalog/" rel="nofollow">http://www.dz-nuts.com/catalog/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.qoleum.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.qoleum.com/</a></p> <p>There are loads of reasons to use it.

I like to work it into my achilles and hamstrings and sometimes my lumbar to help keep me loose. good stuff.</p> <p>oh yeah, almost forgot.. never 'ever' use it on your taint, that would be bad. unless you're into that sort of thing, and if you are, post a video on YouTube, I could use a good laugh. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=124#post-725 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 07:57:48 +0000 Domestique 725@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>what's a clincher? sounds painful. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=124#post-720 Sun, 09 Jan 2011 22:38:50 +0000 gearguywb 720@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Clinchers? Do people still use those ;)? </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=124#post-719 Sun, 09 Jan 2011 20:23:42 +0000 davidb 719@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>So what are optimum embrocation conditions? Are you allowed to use it if you are running clinchers? I'm not going to have to buy cooler glasses am I? </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=124#post-715 Sun, 09 Jan 2011 01:43:56 +0000 gearguywb 715@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Hav eused Mad Alchemy with pretty good luck. Received some of the Rapha stuff for Christmas and like it a touch better...not quite as warm though. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=124#post-714 Sun, 09 Jan 2011 01:35:20 +0000 davidb 714@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>Hmm. I feel like I've been cheating by wearing the bib tights. along with three jerseys, a beanie, and two pairs of socks (my son is not going to get those bigger shoes back until summer). 41 degrees was fine until today when it was also foggy. I had to wear all the warm stuff. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=124#post-711 Sat, 08 Jan 2011 22:39:54 +0000 Domestique 711@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>um... really didn't need to know the details, but thanks for sharing I think. </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=124#post-710 Sat, 08 Jan 2011 21:59:34 +0000 teamfubar 710@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>I would, but it is pointless for me as I am very, ahem, hirsute. A level 9, or Robin Williams hairy (anyone know the reference?) . As a matter of fact, my wife is gonna trim my back hair later... </p> http://moots.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=124#post-709 Sat, 08 Jan 2011 20:31:07 +0000 Domestique 709@http://moots.com/bbpress/ <p>ok... who's riding shiney? I use Mad Alchemy, keeps me nice and warm. </p>
