MajG Posted September 17, 2020 Share A pair of cut off skinny jeans... Unfortunately Mtb shorts have become incredibly expensive. The new 2021 range is even crazier where shorts alone (without an inner) is R3k already for the nice stuff. Holy cr@p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyronLab Posted September 17, 2020 Share I recently started riding baggies / trail shirt (Budget Trail Thread is mine), specifically for some more protection as I'm orienting more and more to the trail side of riding and as a result toppling over a bit more. Baggies definitely give you some more abrasion resistance than just lycra. What I have found though is that I'm missing the mass storage space of my lycra shirts. I eat and drink a lot while riding and do a 3-5 hour jaunt every weekend, so I carry the majority of our pantry with me along with multitool, patch/plug kit and tyre levers. Pretty easily remedied by finding some alternative space for tools on my bike and stopping mid-ride for a fuel up. Still stick to lycra for roadie group rides in the week, although I think I look a bit silly with my toight lycra and my monster truck trail hardtail. Luckily, as a married dad of two, I've proven what I have to prove to whom I need to prove it, so whoever thinks I'm a doffel is more than welcome to. arendoog and Wayne pudding Mol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR ◣◢ Posted September 17, 2020 Share Totally all about comfort and a lot less about the look as you creep towards 40. My kit does not match my bike at all. I'll happily ride in green while my bike is orange. Don't care. arendoog and quintonb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arendoog Posted September 19, 2020 Share Totally agreed. I'm yet to find a liner that is as comfortable as a bib. So I ride baggies that come without liners. Except for the spez baggies that came with a swat bib liner. That swat bib is amazing.Agree on the spez baggies .Best quality,cut and comfort .They come at a price though .I am on my third indola pair .Once they are worn,faded,they become soft and very comfortable Edited September 19, 2020 by arendoog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wet Ears Posted September 23, 2020 Share True, that is why I generally only buy booze from them, one size fits all! Edited September 23, 2020 by Wet Ears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxerulez Posted September 23, 2020 Share Typical one day only stock clearance.You either have to be stick thin or real chunky to fit into their sizes available.yet not too chonkers. I am down to a 42 from a 46 and still I am left without fox baggies. Look ODO is a clearance outlet, thats why we get the prices, to get rid of FOX's left overs. Youll see it is the same odds listed at fox online store. What is even worse, whatever they sold directly in the last 48 hours is also listed on ODO although it is already sold out, so some buyers will still get that Dear John in a week or so. Meanwhile they are pulling interest on the financed sales done today, and refund you only the one item that is out of stock from your order.

Stevief Posted September 23, 2020 Share Main reason I ride quality baggies (no inners)with quality bibs. Inners are so uncomfortable. When I wipeout it doesn’t cost me R4k oh and I dont look like a chop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikki Louw Posted March 25, 2021 Share Anyone know of any good deals on mtb baggies at the moment? I have been looking at the Fox range as I have heard good reviews, but everyone is out of stock. Any other suggestions for good quality baggies or where I might be able to find a pair of the Fox baggies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Vye. Great looking pair of shorts. Rikki Louw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Albert Cycles Posted March 25, 2021 Share Two weeks ago I did a 540km ride in 6 days , Nieu Bethesda to Prince Albert on back roads . Bike was a Cannondale Flash . It is a hardtail. I wore Indola Enduro baggies and ended the week with not a single sore , no hot or friction spot . Amazingly comfortable. Rikki Louw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
