Bib Shorts

[Martok]

I suffer from chafing when doing long rides. Yes, I know saddle could be a factor but so is what I'm wearing, which is currently some cycling undershorts plus some baggy-ish shorts on top. I do use chamois cream which has helped but I still suffer from some chafing.

Anyway I've decided to buy some bib shorts (and there was me saying I'd never be seen wearing lycra

) so I've gone for the dhb Aeron Pro Cycling Bib Short. My first big test of these will be the Long Ride to the Coast - Sat 28th May which will be my first 100+ miles ride this year.

Bonus - whilst I was writing this, I discovered the price had dropped from when I placed the order the other day, so they are now 20% off and Wiggle have agreed to apply the discount to my order.

^ i said the same about wearing lycra. it just looks weird there is no doubt about it lol everytime i got out of the saddle i felt like i was exposing myself

i'll get used to it though i'm sure

Are you sure you bought the right ones Martok?

slick and functionally sophisticated pair of bib shorts for the serious rider who wants to ride hard

ps-what size did you go for?

Cheeky git!


I do want to ride hard but that's not on the bike...

I went for the large size and this was based on my measurements and the sizing chart on the description tab on that page.

I also use Tenn-outdoors products and I think they're pretty good. They just got some new bib shorts in, in my opinion they're better than the ones you got ( I also have a pair of those, but replaced them with these)

Here's a link to the new bib shorts, they're more expensive but I like the professional feel of them:

After reading your post, I went to the Tenn web site and liked what I saw. I ordered a pair shorts, only 12.95, bargain. I got them today and first lmpressions are really good, I am really impressed with these and with the price I may pick another pair. Many thanks for the heads up on these.....

Well I've done the Etape Caledonia today, and the bib shorts were fine. If anything they were a little tight over the shoulders, but I may just be a funny shape. The pad was comfortable and got me round - without stopping.
