Timasin Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Hi All, Been looking online for replacement bib shorts and came across Buycycle advertising Decca bib Shorts. Tried looking online for reviews of their kit and have seen the obvious facebook page but otherwise not alot in the way of reviews. They seem to be producing for a number of team etc in SA. Could anyone wearing them actively give me some constructive input into their quality and comfort? Rgds,Timasin
Guest Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Will send you a nr of a guy who rides only in Decca kits....
Gearman Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Hi, I'm also keen to hear how the Decca bibs are rated. Please post on the forum when you get feedback. Thanks!
mojopup Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 I won a pair at the one Nissan Series race. I now use those as my primary bibs instead of my Assos. They are amazing. Zero chaffing and are uber comfy. Will definitely buy Decca when I next buy.
Gearman Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Do the decca bibs only have one type of padding option? In other words, the one's they make for corporate and those for sale on websites are the same padding ?
jcza Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 I got a pair of Decca MTN bibs - they're great. MTN since changed to Vermarc, also great.
Timasin Posted October 2, 2012 Author Posted October 2, 2012 So purchased a couple pairs, figured at the price I could not go too wrong. I'm 1.83m tall and bought large as per the sizing indicated. I think the large is a little to small for me so would suggest perhaps a size larger than indicated, but don't quote me on this! They are really well costructed and the fit whilst seated on the bike is nice and comfortable. I do seem to find though that the padding design leaves the majority of the padding a little far back unless I'm in a fairly upright position. Seems are flat and I've had zero chaffing at all from day one. Doing a three day ride to the Amashova start from Johannesburg with day four being the race. Will provide further feedback after this as I suspect they will be properly tested during the course of the four days. I must say though that I am happy with my purchase and if you cannot afford the "imported Italian" stuff then go for it. Rgds,Timasin
gummibear Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Decca shorts are very comfortable and sizing is good.Their factory is in Belgium and they have a Saffa looking after the team riders.i saw quite a few guys at the weekends cyclo cross in Decca kit.

MtbBarbie Posted October 30, 2012 Posted October 30, 2012 Big fan of Decca bibs... Best shorts I've used for long rides and the most awesome part is the magnet at the back, allows us ladies to ablute without taking the whole bib off!!
