Stylish cycling kit

Completely fobbed off Chrome, only saw ads for flats.
du-dooy

Tempted as it's all black, but on the photo the rear area of the DHB pad looks thicker than a telephone directory. Not keen on something that will end up just stuffing the channel on my SMP saddle and negate any benefit of having a cutout. What is the gooch area on the chamois like?

For stylish shorts with thinner pad Santini Edge 2.0 are great. I used them on LEL (with a C17) and they were brilliant.

I've had good usage from a couple of pairs of Santini bibs too. And the cut is good for small people, unlike some others.

Rapha is equally as thick?

Got both dhb bibs and an smp saddle. No issues. The dhb bibs are well worth the money.

DHB and Rapha use same pad manufacturer

I think I've heard that.

And most other bibshorts - Assos POC ...

It doesn't mean that dhb pads are the same as the other brands they make pads for.

Including my club kit it seems. Who knew?

That's just about everyone. Didn't know that.

But yeah, my experience of 'endurance/premium' bibs are just MORE PAD, not some more techy solution. Totally kills the joy of SMP.

The Santinis look interesting. They've also got another type of chamois which also looks reasonably thin. Cheers for the tip.

EDIT: The other type of pad is basically the cheaper option/next level down.

/\ second this for Santini - i do like a thin pad - also a narrow one, but thats more tricky to find....

I did.

La Passione seem to have pretty much everything on sale at the moment https://www.lapassione.cc/collections/men-summer-sale

Bumnuts. I got 2 Jerseys off them last week that are now £10 cheaper.

Bloody nice jerseys tho and well worth what I paid never mind £10 less.

I ordered a set of the "dhb ASV Race Bib Shorts" they arrived today and seem like a super weird fit. I'm generally a small but went for a medium after reading all the marketing bollocks about being a close fit, designed for elite athletes. The legs seem really long and pretty baggy. I might try a size down but I'm tempted just to try something else.

I would politely ask for a voucher with 20 quid off next purchase. They'd be mega-bumnuts to decline that.

Has anyone else noticed the AliExpress brand called DireWolf?
Basically just looks like someone has scrolled trough this entire thread and picked inspiration at random.

EDIT: Yep, pretty much all copies. But some nice ones though.

Clearly GoT wankery.

Oh. Dear.

Not a bad idea that...
