FYI I found a major place of odour for myself was my helmet liners...
might be a good idea for people to soak/wash those and let them air out in the sun for a while.
Can't get the stink out, it's been hanging round for days...

Also somewhat related to this topic.... Mental note to self, never buy MTB shorts without belt loops. I lose weight every spring/ summer. Then proceed to bitch my shorts won't stay up because I'm at the max smallest with the lame velcro systems they are flogging....
So much this.
I got some Sombrio shorts you can use a shoe lace or a real belt to keep them up ...works great
Seen it in paddling with Neorprene booties and such, you need some thing to chemicaly deal with stink
that would be Mirazyme or the Nikwax product
or just try vinegar

I bought an Arcade belt from MEC this spring and love the thing for mtb shorts, keeps them up nice and high, no risk of catching the crotch on the saddle nose and pulling a Gwin.

Haha! Nice!
+ 1 to that belt. I have buddies who swear by suspenders, I’d go for them too if I came across something low profile and elastic. I love em for snowboard pants.
Vinegar and time on the line in the sun has fixed the stink for me. And I fuckin stink!

Thats cool, I have never actualy tried the vinegar thing so I always wonder if you smell Vinegar afterwards ?
Vinegar soak and then regular wash - no residual stink, nor anyone chasing you with french fries.
