  • I wouldnt let you put this off, but i dont buy DHB simply because of a bad experienc with one (the only one i have ever bought) of their products same with bonty wheels i had a crappy pair of them came stock on my bike and now i dont have the confidence to buy bonty wheels again. and shorts can fall apart trust me i had a pair of club shorts and all the stitching round the crotch area came undone :shock: .

    double stitching is good or get someone to over-stitch when new

    Used DHB for 2 years now with no problems at all.

    I've two pairs of 3/4 that are 2 years old and are fine.

    Great value.

    I've got a pair of the Finchdeans and like them a lot, I can't help you with comparisons to Assos or Rapha though! No problems with build quality and I don't feel like I needed to have spent more.

    Think I read somewhere else that dhb are introducing another range above the Finchdeans which might be worth a look for you.

    ive got a pair of Finchdeans, no complaints here,

    though cant compare them to anything other than other DHB 3/4s and cheaper bib shorts.

    certainly would recommend them
