Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Best Bib Shorts ... ?




I have been using the SPECIALIZED RBX PRO which is fine but looking for other options.

No such thing as "best", as it's a preference thing. Price often equates to a perception of "best", and that'd be Assos, Rapha, and other boutique bike brand merchandizing such as Speed Vagen and Ritte.

So far so good.

800 miles a month.

Haven't been in the shop for a month.

A little cooler here now, saddle sores gone.

After a ride, soak the Chamios in Dawn dish soap [specifically] for a bit before throwing in the washer.

Plus i run a longer wash cycle and Viola, it's worked like a charm.

It's highly personal. That being said, I'm a fan of the RBX Pro. I have several. I also have many "matching" kits, yay. They all work pretty well. I have a pair of Rapha Classic Bibs, they rock. In fact the only ones I don't like are the ones I got from Strava. The chamois is in an odd position or something. when I sit up I get that "I'm sitting on the saddle with no chamois" feeling.

My favorite bibs that I have are Garneau pro feel 2 bibs. I think they may only be at nashbar. Don't let the price fool you, as they are super cheap. Only about $50 and I have bought both of mine on sale for around $40. I have never tried a high end pair, but these are so comfortable I don't know why I ever would. I bought them with the intention of using them for mid range rides 20-60 miles, but they feel so good that they have replaced my cannondale elites as my long range set. (60+)

I love my Assos bibs (FI.13-S5). Competitive cyclist frequently has really good deals on the XL & TIR sizes.

Seriously, try these. Right now they are $53-25%. Can't beat them and nashbar will take them back if you don't like them.
