When I ride, I have a tendency to chafe around the knee
area, or just behind the knee, particularly if there’s a fair bit of fast
downhill trotting. (The long downhill at Paulina Peak comes to mind.) It has
gotten better over time, but there’s still a bit a tendency there. My
current solution is to put some Vaseline on the inside of my knees and that, in
combination with some nice (also expensive) full seat breeches, lets me
complete with no rubs at all. But I am concerned that I am going to ruin the
leather on breeches. So,
I have two questions:
Will Vaseline break down the leather on the breeches?
(And if so, how quickly?)
Is there any other kind of lubricant that would work as
well, and last as long, that would *not*
cause a problem with the leather.
