I used a pair when I bought a Colnago 6-7 weeks ago and they felt great. Hmm, why did I not like them before? So, I've been wearing the two pair and have ridden several 50-70 mile rides and am totally happy.

Then, I rode my Propel while wearing the Assos bibs and they felt like crap again. Obviously there is a saddle type and saddle fit between my two bikes and my bibs. So, Assos for my Colnago and Specialized RBX Comp bibs for my Propel
Clearly there may be a saddle/chamois/butt interface.

Interestingly, at this point I can wear almost any bibs/shorts for a 50 mile 3 hour ride. It's the longer rides say of 4+ hours, 70+ miles, centuries, where I make it a point to wear the Assos.
