'Dale Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Hi Guys,Considering a pair of Assos bibs,but is it really worth the money?cheersThe Mille is the long-distance comfort bibshorts in the Assos range.It is well worthit.
MTB_Roadie Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 this forum is like google...search it first as I am sure there is loads of topics....
Thumper Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Yay! This thread again. I'm so happy. Beer time.But what if the outcome is different this time
patches Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 maybe it's because I'm more into dirt jumping, free riding and downhilling than I am into racking up the miles... thus my rear end spends minimal time on the saddle... ...so I find it crazy to think that people would spend R2000 on a saddle and about as much on bib-shorts

My saddle R309 and bibs R450.
Tiny K Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 How long is a piece of string? Depends on what string it is :clap:

My saddle R309 and bibs R450. that's way more reasonable Mampara! and I guess if a MTBer feels they "need" to spend 4k on a fancy saddle and bib-shorts then they're sitting down too much and the trails they're riding are boring!
RocknRolla Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 uhhhm, these assos bibs? is this some kind of fancy cockpit? Â
Willehond Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 I am really disappointed in my pair. After 200km's mys butt still hurts, so they don't seem to be any better than my usual shorts. I expected more!
Just Keep Pedaling Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 My last pair were worth it. My next pair won't be as I now have a Brooks saddle = 0% chance of chaffing.

Seeker911 Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 My last pair were worth it. My next pair won't be as I now have a Brooks saddle = 0% chance of chaffing. Which brooks saddle did you get ?
Willehond Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 The only thing that's gonna be comfortable after 200km is a jelly bath. Strange you should mention that. Just this weekend I had an entertaining discussion with my kids about the alternative use of Jelly Babies as gelatinous cushioning on long rides. Carcbs vs. cushioning - the versatility of Jelly Babies. I'm sure someone will write a book about it one day PS My wife did not enjoy the discussion. Especially when it turned to the merits of restoring salt balance by consuming the salty, crunchy brown babies...
