"Red Hot" Analgesic Ointment as Embrocation?
It's by the same guys that make Atomic, only it's supposed to be hotter...
Anyone try it? For reference my current favorite stuff is tiger balm, but I want something hotter.

I have a pound of Red Hot somewhere. I tried it at "normal" amounts and I literally had to grab the rubbing alcohol and rub it off. I tried it at very light amounts and it just stung my skin. Although I think that putting BenGay, IcyHot, TigerBalm (sorry), etc is like rubbing toothpaste on my legs, the Red Hot is HOT.
I'd use the Balm (Medium), which will be slightly uncomfortable once you get off the bike for about 2 hours. It is pleasantly uncomfortable when first put on, and it'll make your legs feel hot in warmer weather. I don't use it when it's wet since it just accelerates heat loss.
