Ok, now that your looking....

Is there any right way to break-in a brand new pair of lycra shorts?

I just got these great Pace ITS-100 shorts with a much thicker pad than I am used to. Any special way to break them in?

I figured just get out and ride in them. Any other thoughts?

Thanks!

Feels about right...

Extra thick padding, eh? Maybe I should get one of those... :)

Well, I should say, compared to my Bellweathers and my other "no-name" brand lycra shorts. I'll be taking them out for a spin today. :D

Thanks

Ok, 21.5 miles and all is well with the new shorts! In fact, they are the best I have! Most comfy!.

ebay! That is where I got them. My LBS does not carry them either. They were referred to me by a friend.

Their site has been down all weekend. I'm sure there are several other venders online that carry Pace products.
