CHEAP VS EXPENSIVE CYCLING BIB SHORTS

[@OLICIT]

You need to clarify when you say Chinese that you mean unknown cheap Chinese brands, as they are almost all made in China/Vietnam/Taiwan/Thailand. Cycling clothing is just like carbon fibre bikeframes, they are mostly made by a handful of factories in China or Taiwan, especially by companies like Monton who have their own brand in various countries but manufacture for many of the biggest cycling clothing brands

Thank you for this.

[@woodbine66]

Agree with other comments. Fast forward to 6.20. 😍

[@user-ih4ht9qr1i]

Starting from 6:24 is awesome! Thank you.

[@Trashtalk2023]

Hmm mine are from a Chinese company santic and they have been great for around $30-40

[@antibalas26]

Yes they have very good and cheap bibs

[@zarmusic8155]

@@antibalas26 I have 3 santic. Happy with them for the price... But bougth a castelly for twice the price on sale, havent tested yet but more marshemellow feeling... I do notice the santic feels a bit hard after some hours.

[@rob4121]

bought santics as well - no complaints, but my average ride time is 2 hrs; 150 to 200 km per week

[@Ben-sx5xb]

I have Scott shorts and they costed me 140 CAD$ they are basically the same as your "cheap" bibs but mine has the grippy fabric for the legs. my 2 cents is that if you look hard enough you can find some pretty good bibs without breaking the bank.

[@MegaStrive]

Thanks for all the info! I ended up going with the 2020 TCR Advanced 1 Disc Pro Compact. Killer color! Got it for $250 off. I'd love the 2021 but it was a stretch in budget

[@1xXNimrodXx1]

Thanks for the input. Now I know why some ppl spend a fortune on those bibs and man im glad my arse likes those cheap 20€ china bibs. Looks like you gotta find the right bib that works for your arse no matter the pricepoint.

[@GerbenV90]

I’m searching for a some new bib shorts and there’s a lot of reviews here on youtube. Giant sounds reliable and looking at your video it seems to fit well with a great wide elastic band around the leg. I also see some great reviews on for example the 7mesh RK1. So 2 years after this video, is the Giant Elevate still one of your favourites to this day or is there something else you would recommend?

[@tn9274]

have you tried soomom brand? it is good quality, I have 2 shorts. never saw the bibs for sell anywhere internationally.

[@papanino4415]

Sorry but I'm starting to think that bib shorts are a scam. I truly don't see how any of the "features" you showed justify a $200 price tag.

[@aubertcordon8606]

Agree!

[@NioRizki]

Giant is also chinese bib 😂😂

[@nicksyahrilstorror5183]

just wanna ask does some of y'all using or wear cheap cycling kits or nah?🤔

[@jamesthecow]

Lepedaler, Thank you for the insightful info, how are Assos Men's H Mille Shorts? Thank you in advance! I'm planning on getting the Giant Revolt Advanced (gravel) at the Giant Vaughan Location, I was wondering in terms of professional bike size fitting before buying a bike and bike fitting after buying a bike, is there anyone you would recommend in the Greater Toronto Area? Thanks a lot in advance!

[@bernardbjmacon5562]

Do you have a link to the expensive brand and model of the bib?

[@顾凯文-z6k]

what size do you wear and is tighter better？ or maybe I should buy a more confortable size

[@顾凯文-z6k]

lepedaler thanks for the prompt answer and have a good day

[@bertomind8785]

Size?

[@gauravbhatia2758]

I got one for less than 10 bucks and they are pretty good...

[@user-vn9js9yn1j]

Bro u shud put some link for the expensive one

[@keiferpadilla5165]

Sweet. What about regular cycling shorts? How do they compare? I just started riding and bought 5 pairs of Bontrager Circuit for $99 each

[@alextallen8019]

I just got my first bibs after riding shorts for a long time. I like the bibs because it doesn't have the tight waist band that starts to be slightly uncomfortable after a few hours. Also, I like how the bibs don't give me a muffin top... But that might just be my fatass.

[@keiferpadilla5165]

alex tallen 🙏♥️😂

[@aubertcordon8606]

Personally I don't have a huge preference between bibs and regular shorts. I have ridden thousands of miles, and multiple 100 mile rides on cycling shorts (not bibs) and they are just as good. The one thing you got to look for, just like this video says is the Chamois quality, that is the #1 thing you should be concerned with. I have found that the Chamois that are what they called 3D shape, do a much better job keeping your taint cool. Also, some of the cheap shorts come with a really thick Chamois without an ergonomic shape, that can be worse then a thin chamois, your package really starts getting in the way after 30 miles. One negative about bibs, imho, if you have an emergency bathroom situation, you have to take off your jersey before you can take your bib off. Just a thought. Ride on!

[@johnmanuel7561]

The thing with regular shorts is if you happened to be in between 2 sizes or if you lose weight, they may start to slide down and you will have to pull them up or you will be showing some crack to everybody. With bibs you don’t need to pull them up and there is no slippage or that tight band around your waist. So easier to have a better fit.

[@fananiayub]

Thanks for information ❤️👍🏻

[@chefe2152]

Dude,I got 15 $ cycling shorts went for 10 k ride,now I'm seating on the mattress and my ass is soo much burning!! Is this the shammy difference you talking about?

[@MegaStrive]

I'd to get your opinion on Pinarello bikes. I see a lot of GCN guys riding them.

[@MegaStrive]

@@Pedaler in general, the overview of the brand but also compared to TCR you've reviewed recently, I'd think the PINARELLO PRINCE DISK ULTEGRA BIKE would be a decent comparison. Comparable price and i think it's an all around bike

[@MegaStrive]

@@Pedaler minus the power meter. Again, I'm not well read on the brand but it looks like it's considered the "superbike" brand

[@zyghom]

600 gbp bike, 300 gbp bibs - totally crazy. There are good bibs for 40-50 gbp. Any bibs will die due to washing after every ride. Of course bibs for 10 gbp will probably die very soon if not after first usage

[@purpleaki7135]

Mate I think he's Canadian and it is super expensive over there. Went over there once a few years back when the £ was 2.5 times their $ and was still shocked. British people outside of London, Surrey, etc. are pretty sensible when it comes to shopping for cycling kit. In my opinion. £110 for one pair of shorts - not a chance.

[@halea41]

Why not just reduce the washing?

[@JohnnyTheCache]

unless you are doing races, good bibs are really a better investment than an expensive bike. it will increase the ride quality, enjoyment, length, exercise.. the expensive bike will make you a bit faster. Doesnt matter that much really..

[@daniellucente4409]

Great review. From the video the more expensive ones seem to be better material and the chamois has less seems that could cause irritation. I'm trying Le Col bibs for the first time this weekend. They were $160 USD. I'm currently using Wattie Ink Bibs and those have been good to me. I had cheap Sugoi brand ones and they didn't last very long.

[@bestcyclingmoments6035]

Daniel Lucente le col shorts are great

[@janvandekerk6877]

Do they smell ?

[@avelinolin0403]

Compare expensive to expensive brand and cheap to cheap brand. Of course expensive is more advantage and quality.

[@BarbarellaCarpenter]

So.. no bibs at all or Chinese ?

[@IvansBikesBmws]

New subscriber. Love the channel.

[@lemonboy9yearsago760]

I just buy wathever thats cheap

[@digerati808]

Yeah, sorry. You won't catch me riding in $200 bibs. I find it odd how some people justify spending crazy enormous amounts of money on drastically overpriced cycling goods. The word "suckers" comes to mind. Instead we should be spending that money on another bike (MTB, gravel, road, SS) so we're on two wheels more, instead of working long hours to buy our next $400 kit.

even your bike is made from china, you just should say Cheap or Low Quality.

Nice! Keep it up

[@richierosado5610]

Keep it up bro

[@janvandekerk6877]

Should the chamois be black ? Because then it wouldn't show the shit stain .

Woow

If you use the method of a double-blind experiment for comparison, it would be more convincing.

[@hermanmunster3358]

Mmmm, nice 🤔👍

[@MrRemota]

You just bought a terrible bib. Why include chinese origin in your judgement? There's a lot of chinese perfect products. Maybe your first world bib. Terrible video.

Sorry dude you get what you've paid for. For $20 you will get sh*t no matter where you bought it from. Expecting to pay at least $70 -$120 for Chinese bib.
