edited August 2014 in Road buying advice
When i am in the saddle for long periods of time wearing anything other than my Assos T-Pro with the s2 pad i get some pretty nasty chaffing just under my bum cheeks. I have worked out it is caused by the seams on the edge of the pad and although i have got a few different brands of shorts they all have a raised seam on the edge of the pad

Other than buying another pair of Assos is there anything else out there to look at as my OH would have a fit if i spend a fortune on more Assos stuff

    There's these - http://www.prendas.co.uk/santini-racer- ... iew_tabbed

    Santini Racer - not seen much in the way of reviews though. If I could find any, I might be tempted myself.

    PS - Prendas site has gone all bland and boring. Boooo!

    I swear by these as my 'go to' shorts - bought one pair and loved them so bought another...

    Perhaps liberal application of Chamois cream to the seam of the pad of the offending bibs would help?

    That would be my way of dealing with it. +1

    I've been happy with the Lusso bibs JamLala mentioned.

    Iv tried this and whilst it helps with shorter rides anything over 3/4 hours it seems to still cause an issue

    This is a silly question, you have some good bib shorts that work for you, go and get some more then! You can use the code EDU10 for an extra 10% on the Assos Factory Outlet website.
