As for Hammer Nutrition, amazing stuff. I have no reason to rep for them other than my experience with their products and customer relations. I bought a 12 pack of their Gel, a tub of HEED electrolyte drink, and a tub of Perpetuem.

If you're wondering what I ate/drank over that 4 hours - not a single solid food and wasn't hungry at all. Perpertuem combines all your protein/carbs/electrolytes into one bottle, and then you hydrate with plain water in the other. So I sipped the 800(!) liquid calories in my one bottle, and then refilled with plain water during my gas station pee breaks. Never finished a ride that long so strong - never cramped up, no gas attacks, no terrible taste, and didn't feel wiped. I brought two gel packs with me and didn't even think about them. Ok, I think that's 'nuff said on nutrition products in a bib thread.
From what I highlighted above it can clearly be seen that Hammer nutrition is the bib wearer's best friend!
No solid food--no dueces

Just for the record, I wouldnt be caught dead wearing one of these things, or spandex shorts.

That's because your bike is a fashion accessory. Try riding it someday.

Not that I'm making any assumptions, but people who usually say that are either brand new to cycling, or rarely ride over 10-15 miles. Just for the record.

I can't stand bibs, I'm thinking of cutting mine off and adding an elastic. I'd rather have the very minor discomfort of a waistband than those suspender dealies. Full zip might be ok though.

dookie 08-15-07 05:14 PM
sierratradingpost.com has (had?) some excellent bibs from CW-X. as good as the nicest pearls i've ever worn, and 1/2 the price.

that said, i'm gonna pick up a pair of the hammer volers too...

Probably wouldn't be caught on his bike, since it's just sitting next to him at the coffeeshop. Then he will strap on his $250 custom mess bag and walk the bike home.

Defensive...so defensive....

I assure you once again, guys, nobody is laughing at you in your lycra. Ride on, ride free.

Bibs really are the jam because they never move around no matter how much you're on/out of the saddle. Also I like to rock the occasional Craft baselayer with no jersey (no pockets), and you can tuck **** into the strap parts that wouldn't fit into shorts alone.

skanking biker 08-15-07 06:58 PM
ok, so what size do i get if i have a 36 waist and a 44 top?

I don't fit in anywhere!!!

DDYTDY 08-15-07 07:09 PM
x-large might be a good start

Skanking Pickle?

I am always stuck between a large and extra large. I suppose given my large posterior that an extra large would rbably be a good idea. --then again i am 5' 9" and weigh 190--so maybe large is better

In my youth I went to many a skanking pickle concert.

skanking biker 08-15-07 07:29 PM
anyone want to give me their name and customer number so I can get a referral rebate?

DDYTDY 08-15-07 07:34 PM
5' 8" @160 lbs 33" waist, large works for me. I was 185/190 lbs last September. After 12 years off it was time to get back on a bike.

superdex 08-15-07 08:24 PM
I have a 36" waist, and I go with their Large....

you got PM

So fast to rip on me guys. If you must know I come from a street/trail riding/bmx back ground (20in) so thats where I got my start. Ive been riding for about 20 years. I recently got into road biking and since Ive never had a need for gears before I went with a single speed. I ride 4 or 5 days out of the week, so I do ride. And no I probably wont do a metric century. I dont drink coffee or own a massager bag. I wear whatever Im wearing that day. Usually some kind of cargo shorts or other shorts and have commuted to my job (10mi) a few times.

And yes, everyone thats not on a bike is laughing at people wearing these things and I could care less what other people think, but thats doesnt mean I go around wearing thongs either.

man you are missing out. Nothing like wearing a nice lacy thong after chaffing you butt for 3 hours on a bike

deathhare 08-16-07 10:08 AM
pics? :p

mead_hall 08-16-07 10:10 AM
