Cecily, I have spent a lot of time and experimentation trying to help my wife solve a chafing problem. Her single now has a Terry Fly and the tandem a B17. We've been through the up down routine and have settled on level. A switch to Albas has helped. But not all the problem turned out to be the saddle or adjustment. She was wearing Ibex women's specific shorts which have a pretty thick pad. When she switched to a pair of men's shorts with a very thin pad, things got better. Finally she started using organic coconut oil as a lubricant. That seems to have made a big difference, especially when we go for a long ride, like 3 hours. Michael
