Tightened up my Bib tights?

sanspoof

Hello all,

Just a quick one, I have some ALe bib tights that i used fairly often, however they seem to have stretched just a little in the straps and therefore not as snug as before....anyone got any tips to 'tighten' them up?

Maybe pinning it would help??

Cheers

pins might just rip out, if you really need to shorten the straps then put a fold in with couple of rows of stitches across to hold it, choose a spot where it's not going to rub/irritate

THanks for the reply .....I was potentially thinking this too....

dodgy

I tied a knot in my bib straps, did the trick, and the knots don't show through winter gear

That's what I'm going to do with my DHB bibshorts. Aiming to put the fold so it sits in that hollow just below the collar bone. There's just not the tension in the straps that there used to be, and that means the chamois isn't held in place very well, especially when I've been climbing out of the saddle. Hadn't realised how saggy they had become till I bought a pair of Assos bibs which fit like a second skin and the chamois stays put whatever I do.
