Chafed Knee??

Question

I have a brand new barrel saddle i ride in, and afterwards even if i only ride for like 45 min-1 hour, the inside (of mostly, but its on both) my left knee is chafed and sore, it has even bled a little before. What can I do to help this?? Thanks! :)

Answer 1

the leather needs to be worked so it will take a while. but mean time try mb putting really good lotion on the inside of you knees before and after you ride. unless your riding in shorts, that's bad use pants

Answer 2

The leather is going to be hard and stiff when it is new.

the leather needs to be worked so it will take a while. Moisterize the leather and make sure that it is really worked in. I had the same situation too.

Also I would wear "real" jeans when you ride in the new saddle so it won't rub on your knees.

I hope this will help you out!!
