Heinrich Van Jaarsveld Posted June 7, 2020 Share I have started out as a rider, doing average 30-40km per day indoor on my trainer. But my pants seem to be a problem. I do not have a guide or measuring system to determine the best qualities to look for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted June 7, 2020 Share Hein’ Bibs are best.The straps secures the position of the chamois insert and feels better as you create friction with your legs. Shorts move all over the place and create eina rub on the skin. Don’t wear underwear as it is not designed for comfort and the stitching can create issues. Read about chamois cream too. It will feel weird at first on your chassis ???? There are lots of threads here about bibs. Check it out. The contact points (saddle, pedals and handlebars and your body position / bike fit) are very important. The longer and more often you ride, the more comfort you’ll need and that’s where a good bibshorts are integral to a lekka experience. Sterkte. ✌????

Thomo Posted June 7, 2020 Share Bibs for sure.!Which exactly is personal preference, and budget dependent.Anatomic has a sale currently so could possibly still pick up a good deal there. (been running for a while so stock may be an issue) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 7, 2020 Share Bibs over shorts, for sure. But lately I’ve found that no chamois at all is actually more comfortable, for me. Just jocks and riding shorts without the insert. But that’s only if your saddle is right for you. That’s on rides of all duration. 30 min to multiple hours. But if you want the chamois, get bibs.

Super Sywurm Posted June 7, 2020 Share I wanted to say shorts, but I might be feeling left out here. Edited June 7, 2020 by Super Sywurm ChrisF, Frosty and porqui 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 7, 2020 Share have you taken up triathlon....?Try athlon, yeah. But no. I just found bibs got me extra sweaty in that department and from a comfort perspective a pair of jocks after a few hours (even at my pace) is more bearable than with a chamois. YMMV, but that’s my experience and several of my riding buddies are the same. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted June 7, 2020 Share I wanted to say shorts, but I might be feeling left out here. For what are actually still short rides my vote is also for shorts - especially for indoors only. Already difficult enough to stay cool when riding indoors. Geared 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I only have shorts to ride in. In theory, the bibs should be better, but I don't want more things over my chest and shoulders. How do you pee and poop? Maybe I should try a good quality bib.

Rocket-Boy Posted June 7, 2020 Share . Well, I only have shorts to ride in. In theory, the bibs should be better, but I don't want more things over my chest and shoulders. How do you pee and poop? Maybe I should try a good quality bib.I didnt like the idea of bibs until I tried them.The difference in comfort was pretty huge for me. I used to still use shorts on the indoor trainer but really didnt like them after having used bibs. Wayne pudding Mol and Vetplant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heinrich Van Jaarsveld Posted June 7, 2020 Share Awesome thanks gents. Seems as though the setup still plays a part on the contact points aswell as the bibs. I will get me a pair and then check it out DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
