I already have some fs260 bibs but they do a pro version and the mt500's

    Some people rave about the fs260 pros but i have a pair and i think the edge of the pad feels like cardboard and they are overly big in the a*se department .Considering they are the best part of £60 I would get Assos again next time which are far comfier.

    Personally I found the fs260 pros very comfortable.Definately would purchase again.
    Out of all the endura kit I own, I have no complaints and find the bibs probably the best purchase.

    I've had nothing but trouble with Endura stuff - which is doubly disappointing because it's made in Scotland. I took my last pair of Endura shorts (Meryl) back to the shop and just gave them back - they were dreadful quality.

    Just bought a pair of the Endura Criterium bib shorts. Only done 30 mile rides so far in them but they are the most comfortable shorts I have. Just not cheap!

    I was going to get some Assos Uno's but my LBS convinced me to get the Endura's instead. Tried both on in the shop and the fit of the Endura's was better

    Bought a pair of Endura FS260 Pro shorts this year due to the reviews I read on here. I don't have the money for Assos, but I've done a couple of 70 milers in the Enduras and I can highly recommend them - very comfy - no complaints here. :D
    I have a pair of the FS260 shorts and there is a definite difference with the Pro shorts, I think they are worth the extra. I would love to buy Assos but I live with 3 major cash consumers!! :(
    Again it is one of those personal things - what suits one person won't always suit another. :?
