Saddle? Pants? Sweat? What is it
Hey everyone, I just joined this forum, and of course I must bring you my grossest, most personal problem. I recently started commuting to work 5 mi each way (8 km) on my gravel bike. I swapped my Selle Italia Diva saddle for a Brooks C17 with the cut out and I have no complaints except for a series of recurring saddle sores I keep getting on my left side but not my right. I barely notice chafing or friction while I'm in the saddle but the proof is in the pudding so to speak. I feel like this might be a sweat problem because I can't really change fully once I get to work. I don't think it's a good move to be wearing a chamois to work and hanging it out to dry in my cubicle. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions? I'd rather not buy another saddle if there's an easy fix.
