Chamois cream - what do you use?
Discussion
For ages now I've been using the Assos stuff and have found it really rather good....but I'm wondering whether some of the others (eg udderly smooth, morgan blue etc) are as good, and that you're paying a bit for the price of the Assos name.
I'm down to under 1/2 tub of Assos and I'm tempted to try something new....but then 1/2 of me says stick with what you know. But at £12 or whatever for 140ml, there are definitely cheaper alternatives out there. Would like to hear your thoughts, especially those who have already used Assos.
Cheers

Cant help but think that Assos creme is simply a money making effort similar to a helmet manufacturer.
Pre ride - clean and talc and repeat after ride....if you cycle day after day Sudocreme does the same job at a fraction of the price.
Sudocreme does seem a cheap sensible option untill you use it as a main cream. It will in time ruin your shorts as well as mark your saddle.Pre ride - clean and talc and repeat after ride....if you cycle day after day Sudocreme does the same job at a fraction of the price.
I've gone back to the assos stuff, although i have some Morgan blue on order.
The Muc-Off stuff isn't bad - you can sometimes pick up a tub for a tenner or so (£20RRP - WTF?!) which makes it fair VFM.
To be honest, any gooch grease/ball baste is better than none, so whatever falls to hand at the LBS/Wiggle etc and doesn't cost a million pounds (cough -RAPHA- cough) will do the job provided you slather enough on.

Been using this for a while now after picking up some to bring my basket total up to the discount threshold http://www.sigmasport.co.uk/item/Secret-Training/S...
Seems fine for me on 4-5hr rides.
