The only bike thing I had for xmas was some Endura Zyme shorts. In medium. Just like my Endura Humvee shorts in medium. Except the Zymes are about 8 inches bigger around the waist, so they've got to go back. Not impressed! :evil:0 -

I got some endura humvee shorts yesterday off my mam. In medium so should fit me at a 34 inch waist. Now either they make them a bit smaller than advertised or I have become one huge fatbastard :oops: :oops:Bianchi. There are no alternatives only compromises!

I'm a skinny bugger (I can wear things with a 30" waist, but most of my stuff is a 32")and the medium humvees are 'snug' on me, but they fit. Which is why I thought the medium Zymes would fit. But the Humvees must be unusually small because the zymes are huge compared to the Humvees. Which is really stupid!
