Lower cut bib shorts make pee stops much easier........

Oh so that's not what the built in pads are for!

They do but they also tend to expose a more rotund gentleman's stomach if they are lower at the front I've found.

cant vouch for them personally but they do get mentioned a lot .

Not a user but took part in their sportive last week and there was no shortage of larger people wearing their kit around - I thought it looked good on them.

were the feed stops as legendary as legend has it? Pork pies, scotch eggs etc?

Yup, delicious beef burgers and wild boar wraps as well

I meant for any you already have that are too long - worth a try if the alternative is stuffing them to the back of the wardrobe? I agree that if spending hard earned ££ I would want something suitable, off the peg.

Ah thanks. The DHB bibs I have now are fine on length and front fit, bit finding the chamois a bit wanting.

This all stems from getting the dreaded numbness. I had been cycling 18 months perfectly comfortably in my seat, and then late Autumn 2021 I started noticing numbness. Not sure if it's me, the saddle or the bibs but nothing had changed. I have tried a new saddle, with fitting, no good so going to revert to my trust ISM saddle and go back to the fitters shortly, but was looking at some upgrades to the warsrobe as some of my shorts were getting a little big as I've started to lose weight.
