Me rida my bicycle Posted May 16, 2020 Share Ciovita is best bang for buck if money is no problem Assos but still not convinced it's worth two or three times more. aquaratza 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monark Posted May 16, 2020 Share Cuore- privateer sell them. Cheaper than assos but half the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomo Posted May 16, 2020 Share You just missed some good lockdown prices on Assos.BikeAddict often has some good deals on Ciovita. Edited May 16, 2020 by Thomo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerdias Posted May 16, 2020 Share Apparently you get what you pay for. I paid R1200 for my existing shorts but don’t think they that great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markellis Posted May 17, 2020 Share Another vote for Ciovita. The Enduro I think it’s called is fantastic. Solomon’s cycles is the best place to buy bibs I find, they always make a plan to beat any other prices by other shops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackb Posted May 17, 2020 Share Try Specialized. They make comfortable gear. Riding long distances you really want a comfortable bib. Lycra shorts tend to move while you ride. I bought a pair of Specialized swat bibs a few years back. They have lasted me about 4yrs. I still wear them from time to time. I wished I had spent more time on researching a good pair than throwing my cash at so many cheap sales. Take the time to get a decent pair you won't regret it. The chamios is what usually determines the price. I've learnt this over the years. I know with our current restrictions you probably won't be able to try on a pair just yet. Hope you have success in finding the right pair. arendoog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicky DQ Posted May 17, 2020 Share Apparently you get what you pay for. Not true, It is the Chammious that fits your but best. I have found the following works for me:Some unknown brand I purchased in Oudtshoorn just before a 100km MTB for ZAR 600 worked fine and is now my 200+ km pair.Rapid sports ZAR 600 also a go to for long rides.Fit is the most important thing. arendoog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapid sports bibs might not be fancy but they're comfy and work really well for me.At about R660 a pair they're worth a trial. Enjoy Octane are my alternatives, much thinner lycra so great for hot summer days but not so great in winter! They're around R1200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket-Boy Posted May 18, 2020 Share I didnt see it mentioned, but get bibs rather than shorts.Once you have tried bibs then you can never go back to shorts. gerriemtb and Andrew Steer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veebee Posted May 18, 2020 Share I bought one pair of Anatomic Platinum bibs in 2017, and they really not the best as the chamios moves around alot, there was another thread some time back with few other guys experiencing the same. Maybe they have improved the fit since. Got a pair or GSG few months ago and they have been good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
