Well, what the title says really.

I am looking for another pair of bibbed lycra shorts. I have a couple of pairs of Adidas response and they are great.

Was hoping not to spend more than £50

Any thought?

    Why not the same again, if you like them so much?

    Both very excellent shorts, the pad is like sitting on a sofa even when compared to my asoss f1 mille roubaix shorts, highly recommended. :D
    The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

    Use your imagination - it's either a kind of scooping action, or you can slide the straps down through the sleeves of your jersey, then bend your elbow, pop the strap over, and take the bib down that way.

    Does make you look like a girl fiddling with her bra strap though, but at least you don't get a tight bit of elastic restricting the flow and causing a flood to hit your pad as you put the mouse back in the house... :oops: :shock:

    If you have to ask it's obviously not long enough!!! :lol:

    I'd say stick with what you know works personally, unless they have gone up in price

    Think I speak for everyone here when I say we are going to need a video demonstration of that. Scooping action huh.. :shock:
