Clothing, specifically tights & co

Posted on
  • Hi there, I was looking into proper clothing for cycling because I'd like to start cycling distances beyond my work commute. I was looking about sizing of some common brands but I got into two scenarios.

    1. The inseam length is too long for me
    2. There is no inseam information

    Question is, given my inseam is 75cm does anyone know which brand available in UK has such measure in their size?

  • At 30inches I'd say that's well within norm so how much are they too long by?

  • Easy fix, go to bike shop, try stuff on in various sizes, buy what fits, enjoy longer rides in warmth and comfort.

  • @Goat&Tricycle I did browse a bit on the usual suspects website at brand like Castelli, Endura, Dnb and the like and the smallest were all starting from about 80cm/31.5in.

  • @jontea yeah I guess that's what I better do. With that said is there any brand I should stay clear from?

  • Just get the best you can afford. I used to buy Endura, but quality seems to have dipped, unfinished seams, holes in waistbands etc. Currently using Specialized bibs, good quality, comfortable and subtle branding and none too expensive.
    Try as many brands as you can locally, and if possible buy off a local independent bike shop, always nice to build up a relationship with em. I get silly discounts and a brew every time I visit mine, try getting that at Evans et al.

  • I like to go for value for money, if something is expensive but top notch and durable I see it as an investment, sometimes, who spends more spends less.
    Il check specialized out I like the fact they are subtle

    And yes, that's what I'm doing at the moment with my build as well; except for the frame and the pedal which I found almost 50% cheaper elsewhere I got everything via them, I like to support local businesses.
