Cycling Shorts

[Stewart69uk]

HI

What in everyone's opinion are the most comfortable cycling shorts ?

my ass is a bit bruised after the tour de krantz on saturday being only my 2nd race i'm not used to my saddle yet.

I bought a pair of padded cycling shorts from mr price sport but they didn't keep me comfortable for too long.

is there a particular brand that I should look out for ?

thanks

Indola Enduro bib shorts work for me, Set you back between R900 - R1200 depending on the LBS price.

Did my 2nd TransBaviaans on the pair I currently own and still going strong.

Santini Clothing have a range of bib shorts with a Gel pad; well worth the money!

First Ascent should be the minimum. I actually only use them, and I'm very happy so far.But this is the price awareness option, so I wouldn't say it's the best. I'm more than happy and for about R500-R600 you won't go wrong in that price bracket.

So far I have spent:

R100 on some LBS bargain bin jobbies (my first pair)

R150 on some more LBS bargain bin jobbies

R400 on some First Ascent jobbies

 

Best so far...the sodding R100 bargain bin jobbies! But sadly they show some skin now!

I think be prepared to spend some money and try some different brands. Different shorts for different bums!

Currently I ride the R150 LBS specials (bib ones), they are Anatomic and not too bad, and seem to take the washing and wearing of a 5 day cycling week pretty well. Worst so far sadly has been the expensive First Ascent ones!

the one that works for you at the price you can afford is normally the best.

100% right! Check the bargain bins!

For longer rides, also consider using some bum creme.. like Assos.

the Mr Price Sport one's were only R180 so i can't complain really.

Skins "Pro Bib" or "C400 Bib".

Get indola baggies, only about R450.00 and they don't make you look like a roadie.

do bib Shorts not give you a "wedgie" ??

Of course they do....and that's why most cyclists use bibshorts.

To be really really honest, I still needs to find a pair of shorts that don't re-locate the nads to where my ovaries should be!!!

I just can't get comfy in the friggin things.....Is there a trick I'm missing??
