Bib questions.
Postby lump_a_charcoal » Sun Oct 14, 2012 4:03 pm
I am looking to purchase a new bib, and I was considering a Sugoi RSE (I have RSE shorts and they are OK).
I went to another LBS and tried on some Loius Garneau bib also - A Neo power and an Equip.
Can anyone give a recommendation for either? They are comparable prices, but the LGs look to be made a little better, and the chamois feels a little more comfortable.
Opinions?

I am now leaning towards the LGs, as today when riding, I noticed that I have worn a hole in the Sugois, on the inner thigh.
Maybe I expect too much, but I don't think they should be worn through already.

Not really sure how to cover it either, maybe a sock with the toe cut of might do the trick...
Has anyone had success in patching shorts?

I ordered the Louis Garneaus from Amazon, and I'll be trying them out on the Syd to Gong in a few weeks.
As for the mysterious rubbing of my other shorts, whoever suggested to check for velcro was spot on.
It was the rough back of the strap causing the damage. I wrapped some black electrical tape around the offending area, and it seems to have stopped the damaged area getting worse, even after 55kms.
By the way, the retail therapy worked!
