New to forums, so 'Hello Everyone"
Two questions:-
How long (Just inside shorts, mid thigh, top of thigh)?
Is it OK to feel slightly perverted wearing what is basically fleecy stay up stockings? :shock:
PS obviously the second question is the serious one but I'd still like your views on the first.

Cobbles are all very well but I'd rather be riding towards the South of France

I'd say just inside shorts is prob too short. They'd ride down a bit. Mine come up about half way between I guess, Or prob a bit higher if I pull harder.
What is bad is when you have your socks and legwarmer on first, and you've yet to pull your bibs on. Thats just not a good look for the wife to wake up to of a Sunday morning.0 -
Mid-thigh is about right - too low and they slip down, too high and you can get a ridge that rubs on the edge of the saddle. The fit/make of legwarmer is important too - some stay up better than others.Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..0

Mid thigh is the way to go. I enjoy the stockings look.... ahem
:PLegs, lungs and lycra.
Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.0 -
