Just when I
thought I had finished my search, my long time supplier stopped carrying my
chosen undercarriage care product, Buttonhole.
I went to the
trouble to email the supplier who told me they had decided their nether region
selection was excessively broad and were consolidating. My emails direct to the manufacturer failed
to get a reply regarding direct sales so I find myself at a crossroads.
Reading reviews
by schmoes like me only fuels the confusion and confirms that we all have
opinions.
Not too long ago
I found myself ready to set off on a ride without any dippity doo. One of my brethren had some Paceline Chammy
butt’r. My recollection of that product
was less than flattering but it was this or nuthin. I took a squirt and found
the stuff was thicker (better) and stayed in place better than I
remembered. It turns out they had
changed their formula.
With new players
in the market and changes made by the old players it is time for some real life
testing to figure out who gets to ride between me and my chamois.
Without getting
all laterally stiff and vertically complaint on you; the only way to test
products is head to head. Or in this
case, taint to taint.
The challenge is
to see if one or more of these can unseat the current champions; Buttonhole the
everyday chamois cream and Morgan Blue Solid a.k.a. the Flak Jacket fo yo
Ass.
It took three
shipments from two different stores to stock the test bench.
Testing is
underway and I will let my pain be your gain.
When I have some opinions I will share.
Until then I’ll just remind you that if you love it, lube it.
