Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - Pants Wear?

sooo.... how do you guys avoid seat wear on your favorite pair of pants?

I commute every day and just about every pair of jeans I worn gets ruined by my saddle... the threads wear thin in patches near my sit bones on the ass of my pants until it looks ridiculous.

Suggestions? (Besides "get a better saddle" or "wear bike shorts")

Get a better saddle or wear bike shorts.

Seriously? This is like saying "How can I keep my food from going away when I eat it?"

Wear out your jeans until people can see your asscrack as you walk into the office.

What kind of saddle do you have? Something horribly abrasive?

OP has a hilarious sig.

Also, jeans wear, i thought that was just a fact of life.

Oh, you could buy Rapha jeans, apparently they are engineered to wear down less.

Cordura denim pants should last quite a long time

not when you drop deuces filled with glass

BF's Godwin's Law = food

I thought BF's godwin's law was brakes vs. no brakes

I thought BF's godwin's law was Kilo TT

F*ck you guys.... Nazis

Stop riding your bike.

Yeah besides the obvious get some cordura jeans. Swrve makes some nice ones.

Seriously? This is like saying "How can I have my cake and eat it too?"
FTFY.


Stop riding your bike.
:lol:

I have a pair of Ralph Lauren shorts that have held up to years of biking. Sure, they are faded in the ass, as well as the front from the sun, but I have yet to have a hole or a tear.

Hot.

But how do you know I'm not actually a 50 year old dude?

Unless you're into that. Then I guess that's cool too.

All you have to be is you, and I will be whatever you want me to be.

I will give you the time of your life.

Bike forums... After Dark.

I don't know why everyone has to be an ass. This forum is a bigger circle jerk than 4chan.

OP: You have a few options before making the switch to bike shorts or a saddle change.Both Cadence and Levi make pants that are reinforced in the crotch to prolong wear. I have both and the Cadence pants will last longer but the Levis are more comfortable.

"made in usa / raw cone denim with 2% lycra / patented cadence seat reinforcement to slow blow out from riding / double layer back pockets / reflective back patch detail / custom cadence hardware / tapered fit / perfect riding pant / looks better with age"

If these don't stop your problem, then you will just have to switch to cycling shorts like everyone else. Good luck!

Wear Dickies. I can put holes in a pair of denim jeans in 6-12 months easy. I have dickies that are 3 years old and still aren't close to having a hole in them yet. I've stopped buying denim all together due to its fragility.

I don't know why everyone has to be an ass. This forum is a bigger circle jerk than 4chan. /snip

If people were capable of being nice, with the anonymity of the Internet, to every single poster who came traipsing by bike forums, then we would need to sit down and figure out the model that made that happen. If you think this is bad, go into an elevator full of people and random say

"My Parrot ****s on his cage, how can I make him stop?" - hell, pick your random question at a random public venue and see if it feels like 4chan.

We all like to give friendly advise, we also all like to give a healthy serving of **** because we all like to screw with each other. That's part of the experience of coming to the forums - you don't go to your siblings house and expect them to not pick on you a little bit, do you? The way we can weed out those who are interested in getting sound advice versus those who want us to make the purchase, and ride the bike for them generally falls into the category of "runaway crying/dish back a little and sift out the good data."

self-serving drivel

:lol:

Op, this forum is just going through a phase. Looks at posts from 2004-2009 and you'll see a much different BFSSFG than the one that exists now. Part of this had to do with the change in moderators, part with the more widespread availability of cheap parts and the subsequent new users that brought to the forums, using their poor grammar and braze-on destroying ways to irritate the more enlightened users.

Here's a tip. If you have a question relevant to this forum, just use the search function. I don't mean this in a condescending way, you'll just get a better quality answer if you look through posts from early 2010 and older.

As to your question; one option is to reinforce the butt with additional material:

Poor grammar? Your dependent clauses are showing, Mr. Spoon. I'll accept the self-serving comment with aplomb, but any reference where you try to become my superior in grammatical structure; you'll have to avoid the abuse of commas that you continue to - refuse to leave a dangling preposition.

I wasn't referring to you, I was referring to the massive influx of single-digit posters who breeze in to ask about Big Shot bikes, how best to cut off a derailleur hanger and so forth. The general characteristics of someone who is embracing a trend and will not last nor contribute to the forums.

Stop wearing ****ty denim dude. Shell out for some heavyweight raw.

Wait what if I just put a bunch of duct tape over the ass of my jeans? Yeah, that'll probably work...

And Santaria I am sooo stealing that gif :D

Where is this from?

Silence your e-tongue you uncultured swine, thats the SLOW CLAP from Citizen Kane. I believe that movie invented that trope single handedly and now its an internet meme of sorts.
