Which bibs for longer rides?
At 76 I started having chaffing problems, not saddle sores but raw areas I guess due to thinning skin as we age. I was using Castelli bibs which were always great but not anymore. I bought Assos which I was told were the best. same problem. I had read in forums that the Giordana Pro FRC bibs were good so I bought a pair ($250). They had a little thicker chamois. I also used Chamois butter. I have done centuries with 7000 feet of climbing with no problems. I have now found these bibs for about $113 from an Irish company so keep several pair.
