Since Psimet2001 mentioned it, if the Hammer bibs aren't good enough for longer rides, what would you guys recommend?
sent....


....for low price alternatives that will go the distance I would recommend Performance's Ultra bibs. The material is new(thicker) this year and I have not tried the new versions, but in general the old ones were only at a disadvantage to the Hammolers (Hammer Volers) in that the fabric just gave out much sooner.

The Hammolers are much better made, but have...in my opinion...a worse chamois.

I don't mean to imply you can't ride this short on a century, but if I am going to my closet the morning of a cenutry I will grab a pair of Assos.....or a pair of Ultras. If all of those were dirty I would grab my Hammolers.
