I'm wearing shorts now and its doubtful I'll go back full time to bibs. In general shorts easy on-easy off, cooler (or they seem that way to me), they don't creep, roll or bother me, and it makes the quick bathroom break a breeze. I think the heavier tire you carry though, the more bibs might present the better overall solution as shorts will start creeping at some point.

I have found that the pad location does differ between bibs and shorts of some models - the Assos Uno being one of them. I hate their shorts as the pad doesn't align to my sit bones properly and the overall cut is crummy, while the bibs are Ok. Not great mind you but, Ok.

Everyone has their favorites, I prefer Sugoi RS or RSE. Outstanding shorts with adequate and perfectly located sit bone pads. I'm going to try Gore next but, right now I'm happy with Sugoi.

Hope to see you this coming weekend in Brevard. The climb up Ceasars Head is a good substitute for liposuction - and a lot safer.
