Assos Chamois Replacement

[Parma]

Hello All,

 

Taking a long shot here. I have two Assos T Equipe bibs that are in good condition but the chamois are worn out. Can the chamois be replaced? Has anyone heard of it being done?

 

Regards

Very good question, I recall seeing something on their website related to a repair service if needed, I am sure that chamois replacement could also be an option, not sure about in SA though. I would also be interested in an option of this nature.

That outfit in town...name alludes me will change chamois for you... you provide it and you pay labour.

I assume you are referring to Rapid Sports

Hard to believe that the bibs are ok but chamois are shot, but I suppose not impossible... they are Assos after all.

You could try any/all of the local manufacturers. (some are more likely to help than others)

Howzit Sports used to be really helpful with this sort of thing, but I don't think they are around anymore.

So maybe Enjoy, Rapid, Ciovita or Anatomic perhaps.?

Yes correct

I have a pair from 2012, chamois still 100% but the Lycra is stretched now. Only use on my indoor trainer so no UV damage. 

 

You are better off getting new shorts than replacing the chamois as the new Lycra will be of greater benefit than a new chamois. Think of the unstitching and restitching

Rapid sports possibly would do this for you.

Has anyone had this done and at what cost ?

I'm contemplating if its worth buying new bibs or getting the chamois changed.

 

I've got a pair or pearl iizumi's, the chamois is 2 pieces, and inner and an outer. The inner piece seems to have come unstuck and now shifts to one side and bunches up.

My wife tried to put a few stitches in it to hold it in place, but I had to take the stitches out as they aggravated me.

After posting earlier I popped on the Pearl Izumi SA page, I see they have a lifetime warranty.

Only thing is the bib needs to be un-altered.

I popped them a mail anyway, lets see if they come back with anything, its a long shot I know.

so 2 days later and no response from them, I'll take that as a "fat chance sucker" response.

 

Still poor from them, at the very least they could have taken the time to reply with a "sorry, not sorry" response.

Online comms have generally been poor ... even when wanting to give the online stores my hard earned cash.

Times like these that I miss the personal interaction with a LBS.

one would think in the current times companies would jump at any opportunity for possible business.

 

I was taking a chance with a warranty repair/replacement,  but they missed an opportunity to possible suggest a replacement article.

 

Right now with everyone turning over their coins 6 times before spending, brand retention should be a priority.
