Until now, I've only been doing sprints with drop bars. But now I'm starting to train with aero bars.
Here's the problem. I have a problem with mi bibs and their pads. Those are too wide/thick to have enough confort while in aero position.
I'm thinking of buying triathlon pads and sew them, cause I can't find any bib brand with extra thin pads(all I saw where more or less standard).
Had any of you had this problem? any advice?
thank you all!
Specialized SL bibs use a thinner chamois, and are race oriented. They work well with their more aggressive saddles, (power, sitero) and I've not really had any issues with them being too thick. A lot of skin suits use relatively thin pads too, but they might not be a good solution for you. You can get a good tailor/alteration shop to swap pads for you, I have some tri shorts with super thin pads I use for casual riding that basically have a very thin, basic foam pad in them.
