[RBW] What do Rivendell riders wear for cycling shorts for long rides?
What do you Rivendell riders wear on long rides? Centuries, metric or English, etc. I know there is a general anti-padded-shorts vibe that emanates from Walnut Creek. But I just cannot go more than 20 miles in regular pants without sweat-soaked undergarments just squeaking away against my flesh like a squeegee. Ouch!! I use LBS padded shorts for long rides but looking for something with a thicker pad and maybe bigger in the back for my upright Alba riding posture, since that puts more sitting area on the rear of the rear, so to speak. Thanks for any advice. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Bib shorts. I ride with a road club so I buy several pair every year. I wear the new ones on longer (>50 mi) and the older ones on shorter rides. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Merino wool microweight boxers (I use the Smartwool brand, but there are others on the market) and MUSA shorts. Good for a full day on the bike, in my experience, but YMMV rod -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

It's Boure shorts for me for long rides. Ibex I find are ok for 30 or so miles. Something about the chamois gets uncomfortable at about that point for me. Hiking shorts with articulated seams without padding are fine for shorter rides but don't work at all for me on longer rides. This seems to vary a lot from one person to the next. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Correction: what I called "boxers" are actually "boxer briefs", a nuance that probably makes a fundamental difference after a day on the road. Microweight Merino wool under Musa shorts, in any case... rod -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

I just wear Ex Officio boxer briefs which breathe well and shed moisture. Living in Hawaii I'm pretty much always sweating when I'm on a bike and have never had any trouble. When I tried cotton box briefs early on I felt like you describe and would have to bring a change for the halfway point. I also wear normal shorts though again they are breathable fabrics, mostly MUSA knickers and Columbia convertible pants (which I wear long to work and short on the way home).

I wear BCG ( UnderArmor and Adiddas also make them for more $) wicking sports briefs (with Bag Balm applied to my skin first) under wool shorts. I have Joneswares and Ibex (I get them in good used condition off Ebay and remove the pads. I have some RBW wool briefs but the crotch seam in them makes them a no go for long rides. For more relaxed rides, I wear Boosucker shorts over the wicking sports briefs. I find no pad needed when riding the Selle Anatomica saddles. (btw, they have introduced a heavier leather option for riders who felt their saddles were stretching/wearing too quickly) I got my first one back when RBW was selling them, and have since added a few more for other bikes. http://www.academy.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_10051_256315_-1__?color=Black&N=871287361+933739030 On Tue, Aug 13, 2013 at 10:26 PM, Michael wrote: > What do you Rivendell riders wear on long rides?

Another one for the REI padded shorts which I'll wear under MUSA clothing. Like you, can do up to 20 miles in regular shorts but after that a lot of chafing occurs.
