Gore and Specialized bibs for me.

jimmytango 09-24-12 11:22 AM

In order of worst to best, Performance Century Club, Canari Gel, Performance Ultra. The Ultras are amazing.

I have a 36/38" waist and use the XL size. I use these under other shorts for modesty.

Semi-related:

Have any of you heard of not using Chamois Butt'r with Brooks saddles because there is a chemical in it that will get in the saddle and ruin it?

I wouldn't think so, being as Brooks published this: http://blog.brooksengland.com/wps/creams-balms-etc/

I'm surprised Brooks isn't peddling their own chamois-proofide at $50 an ounce.

No way. If it can damage a leather saddle what's it gonna do to my lady parts?

The lady makes a very good point.

Ok. A friend on the ride yesterday said he couldn't use it because it would ruin his B17. I'll let him know. Thanks!

Same here, the amazon special haha.

I'm hesitant to try something new though, just because I might not like it. But I want to rotate at least two pairs.

The Shorts Thread.

Anyone?

NcA13 09-24-12 07:08 PM

Yup!

Fox MTB shorts are my game. Stretchy, tech and optional chamois!

RGNY 09-24-12 07:08 PM

PI Attack or Nishiki Core (from the big box store in a pinch).

both under regular shorts....

TheRealFaux 09-24-12 07:40 PM

CAPO!!!

That said I've only picked up Capo recently. I also have the Performance Ultra bibs and Cannondale Classis shorts. The Cannondale's were my first shorts, which fit pretty well, but there's the elastic band since they're shorts and not bibs. The Ultra's were my second pair, but the top part isn't tight around my upper body because it might be a size too big (it's a small so there isn't much I can do and I'm only 105lbs).
