Embrocation

[gazza285]

So ten years ago I was gifted a large pot of Rapha Winter Embrocation, which I have been using sparingly ever since. I now find that Rapha no longer make this fine product, and indeed haven’t for many a year.

Does the hive mind have any recommendations for a suitable replacement? Hopefully before the cyclocross and cross country running seasons end.

Tiger Balm do a very good linament,how good it is for a cyclist I don’t know.

Apologies, should have read your post properly

How about a decent pair of knee warmers or 3/4 length bib tights?

Better to make the mistake that way round. TBF the old Assos chamois cream was full of warming minty goodness until they changed it.

Not for a muddy CX course. Luckily this year has been mild so shorts have been enough for me. I do warm up in those zip up over trousers which help.

Not just for horses - good for creaky knees!
