I want some bibs, but all the ones I've found have too much padding.

All I want is a quality, non-chaffing, good-wicking chamois with only enough padding for the chamois to do the job.

If you know of some bibs, please please post up. If I can't find any, I'll take recommendations on shorts.

TIA!

Well, right now it don't matter since I ain't gettin' none, but my junk's all goin' numb.

SUgoi Technifine shorts are really sweet. The ass pad is not too fluffy... its thick and dense but its not like wearing a diper like some of them are... also much of the pad is made of extremely durable material... as is the material of the shorts, its not your typical lycra, its very durable and hard to tear. I picke up my pair from the LBS for about $35-$40 I think.

Go talk to Anthony Sloan at Wheat Ridge Cyclery and tell him your problems. He is a cool cat from Austin that is well versed in cycling. I have some older PI shorts that have a real suede chamois. I would look into a fit for the bike though. Doesn't sound like shorts really.

Thanks! I'm gonna look around, maybe they make a bib too?

Wheat Ridge has a great reputation tho I've not visited them yet, so that should be fun.

I don't think it's a fit problem cuz I have a pair of shorts (Primal) that have very little padding and have been great, but they're starting to fall apart and are chaffing. I tried Performance's Ultra bib and loved everything about 'em, except the excess padding.

Suede chamois sounds good.

now that I've thought about it, I think that should be backwards...

if you need padded shorts, then your bike probably isn't fit right and/or wrong saddle.

Bought some Descente Classic Pros... very little padding, simply wonderful. Rode today for 3 hours, no numbness... great shorts.

Even bought 'em at Wheat Ridge. Funny story... walking around, Joe walks up, starts to help me, we talk about shorts for like 20 minutes. He shows me the Descente, I thank him and he goes, "Did you race at Winter Park last season?" I'm like, hey, you look familiar.

It was RM's very own Triphop -- haven't seen him in more than a year and we only rode together once anyway.

I just got some Micro Sensors since I am doing a 75 mile ride in the Davis Mtns next weekend.

I wanted some LGI Alveos, but Performance only had S, M, and xtra fat. Didn't find any at shops last weekend. Shop in town sucks for good stuff.

40 very slow miles on them yesterday and wasn't overly thrilled. I think my saddle is broken down and I need to put my Flite Trans Am on the bike. I will try again tomorrow. Stupid 75 miles in the Davis Mtns is sounding less and less like fun.

 

[LordOpie]

I forget, are you on a mt. or road bike?

Road yesterday. I can't imagine my ass not hurting after 40 miles on any trail here regardless of shorts.

You just wanna show off your ween....

I dislike Ween. Wait, we talking about music group or LittleOpie?

The Micro Sensors and the SI Flite Trans Am treated me right on the 75 mile ride. I think a lot had to do with chamois butt'r too.

 

[LordOpie]

i'm thinking if you NEED chamois cream, then you're either in the wrong shorts, on the wrong saddle, or your fit needs adjusting. Just a thought.

We might just sweat more here. That or we actually wipe our bottoms.

www.velowear.com sells some great bibs that don't feel like you are wearing a diaper.
