Ultimate Power Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Hi Everyone, I have to buy some new shorts for the Joberg2C, but wonder if anyone has every used both the Assos Mille and Uno? I only have mille's, but seeing that I want to buy a fair number of shorts (not only for the stage race) but in general, would appreciate it if someone can shed some light on the differences? Thanks,
Ultimate Power Posted March 16, 2011 Author Posted March 16, 2011 thanks for all the reply's....hahaha anybody?

Thanks, I bought all 3 models two years ago for the Epic. 1 - FI.131 - Mille3 - Uno's All of them are great and well worth the cost - Im still using them today. All three have very different chamois. The uno is wider at the rear and thinner in front.The Mille is longer and narrower. My personal preference is the Mille for longer rides 4h+ and I use the Uno's for shorter rides.
TNT1 Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 All of them are great and well worth the cost - Im still using them today. After two years? Remarkable. I have some 10 year old bibs I still use.
Wil6 Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Can't afford assos. sorry, can't help.+1 - I don't care how comfy people that use it says it is,I just don't see me ever buying it
montyzuma Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Get saddle sores on day 2 of Epic or J2C wearing cheapo shorts & believe me the next time you'll pony up for the Assos

'Dale Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Mille is branded as the endurance shorts.And designed accordingly. Go with that, I suggest.All da best!
Ysterman Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 I dont find any difference between Mille & Uno ... long rides and all ... I will go for Uno's from now on
Paddaman Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 From observing various cyclists Assos is a spelling mistake the last s should be an L. On a more servious note, I have cycled on 4 day cycling holidays, on 24 hour races on 7 day cycle tours ext. I have never owned a pair of Asso(l)s. What works is a lot of cream on the bum (Baby bum butter works), a comfortable saddle (pain is caused by having a badly matched saddle) and lots of basic hygiene. Also changing shorts each day allows different chaff marks over the duration, and does help. Always remember the baby bum butter.
TNT1 Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Harden the f^%k up. Put hours in the saddle, and you can do the epic in MR Price bibs. FFS! Bunch of girls with more money than brains. Remember, unlike golf, you can't buy a good game on a bicycle.

Sure, better shorts/bibs are more comfortable, but geez, Cape Storm or First Ascent are just fine. Even the relatively cheap branded Anatomic kit I have is adequate in 99% of cases.

To compare Cape Storm or First Ascent with assos is like saying that their is no difference cycling with tubes and tubeless. Once you cycle with assos their is no turning back (my experience)
