This video doesn’t apply to me but I like your videos 😀👍

[@thomaskessler9701]

Thanks for making this video. I bought the Endura shorts after seeing this video last year... Love them so much I just got another set!

[@marcbeswick9925]

Bought the Endura SL Pros they are perfect. Thanks for the video and advice.

[@roberthobson5901]

Surprisingly this has been Super Helpful! I measure up almost spot on with your measurements and I haven't found anything to fit me well in South Africa. Thanks!

[@mightbematt5185]

Another suggestion for you to try is pedal mafia tech bib, i have this problem as well and these are nice and long.

[@davidadamus177]

The struggle is real bro. I'm 6 feet tall and 165lbs. Usually my bib shorts are size small. Good to see more content from your channel, it's been a little while :)

[@philtomlinson8220]

Great feature. I tend to have this issue with bib shorts too. At around 78kg and 183cm tall, so you'd think I'd fall into the clothing brands sizing criteria pretty well. However, my thighs seem long for my leg length, and most shorts, if they fit in the pad and backside areas will be too short on the leg. Some good advice in the video about what to look for. Despite riding for over 30 years, I didn't appreciate, "long", bibs were a thing!

[@craigpaterson5085]

Ah the video I have always wanted !

[@ScuuBdoo]

180cm and 63kg and I have the exact same problem. I bought new shorts last week and as usual the waist fitment is fine but the leg length or rather lack of leg length sucks. Up-sizing to get a longer leg is pointless as a belt with cycling shorts is definitely not cool. Awesome video!

[@zakkaragkounis9944]

you should try "the black bibs" long version. !!! they are really long.

[@Liofa73]

I have the same issue, I found NEOPRO cycling gear from Australia fits me well, best cuff on the end of the shorts I've ever worn. Great CEO too, she always gets back to you via email regarding sizing.

[@chiefrocker12]

Have a look at la passione, the minimal bib shorts have excellent grippers and compression. Don't let the indicated inseam length fool you. I am 181cm and 70kg, and take a small, it's perfection. The material they use for these bib shorts are super stretchy.

[@codyallen3729]

+1 on La passione, 6'3 and 150 and got a medium in the PSN bibs. They are the longest bibs I own and the straps are by far the most comfortable I've ever worn. I do wish now though I followed their size chart more closely though and got a small as the seat of mine while off the bike feels a bit loose.

[@alutious]

Your videos are getting so professional, NJ! This was pretty funny for me, I used to wrestle decades ago. With your measurements, if you wrestled, you would be referred to as a spider lol. If you were ontop you could drape your arms and legs totally around an opponent on all fours, easily, which is why we would refer to you as a spider. I was about 10 lbs lighter than you and 5" shorter. Now I am 20 lbs heavier than you (healthier weight). Your mentioning the reference for how you measure is great. I went to bibs, so comfortable and it reminds me of wrestling - similar shoulder straps. Nukeproof has a bib that has ample length, you might try that but maybe not the quality you are looking for. The legs are a bit big though. 2 rear pockets and 2 minis on each thigh, which i love. I now wear baggies, i have a plastic bottle shirt that works great, not having a shirt hugging me, plus my gut is a bit big. For trails and shopping i like wearing an mtb overpant - wiping out on the trails easily puts holes in our expensive bibs, a bit hot, but not bad for wet commutes, shopping and off roading. Thx again for your great vids. I love your background wheel. I am thinking of making a lamp from an old 26" wheel, i gave one wheel to someone who's brake track delaminated.

[@miguelangellopez3575]

Great explanation 🇲🇽 ✌️

[@DVKajak]

Just 1 minute into this video and directly feel so adressed! I am very close to your sizing. Thank you for catching this topic! I am 186cm and 60kg. Doing quite good with Santini Bibs, because they have very (!) good grippers on the higher end products and so leg length is okay for me. Best one I have is an old one from 2XU in size XS but sadly this was discontinued. Still searching for a cargo bib but without luck yet...

[@davomccranko]

I've been wearing Rapha Thigh Warmers (not for sale anymore), just to get an extra 4cm of length on my Rapha Pro Team Long size medium bib shorts. Mavic and Pactimo make thigh warmers. They're not as comfortable as just wearing shorts but they are nice in temps about 14 to 20c.

[@ashfanman]

Went on the same journey as you several years ago and also landed on the Endura Pro SL long leg. I’m 198cm and 82kg, so not as slim as you and I don’t have issues with getting bibs to fit my thighs, but the length on these is great. Also really nice quality and not too expensive, although the price has gone up since I bought them.

If your never heard or tried La Passione from Italy. Try their products. The go-to cycling clothes for my 196 cm, long legs and arms and overall spider body.

[@davomccranko]

Hi, what size do you wear, and what do you weigh? Thanks.

[@g_4462]

@@davomccranko Normally size XL with the bib shorts of LP. I weigh approximately 78 kilograms and have - relatively - long legs compared to my torso. With LP there can sometimes be some difference in sizing between their products - because of the tight race cut. On the other hand, LP clothing usually has such stretch properties that it actually always fits well. At least with me.

[@JB-bp3nz]

198cm, 75 kg! This speaks to me! I'm actually using the 7Mesh MK3 bibs in small and found that they work fine but maybe a bit too tight down there. Thank god the shoulder straps feel so good because otherwise they wouldn't work for me. I have ordered the cargo version in medium and should get it next week. Hoping they are perfect for me. I really like the seamless look too.

[@jaspreetsidhu5708]

Yea dude, good to hear I'm not the only one I'm 193-194cm and weigh 85kg (athletic build) I struggle to get them on my quads and then they're a bit loose on the waist. But the straps make up for it so nicely.

[@psychkub]

Somebody already mentioned it but Black Bibs makes a tall version of their bibs with extra length, though honestly, I find their regular sized bibs already a bit long... then again, I like my shorts to fit shorter.

[@kurthunsaker126]

I am the same dimensions as Rides of Japan and have tried a ton of bibs. I also recommend the Black Bibs long version size small. Can’t beat the price and quality honestly.

[@euroswilliams7303]

I agree with you about the 7mesh bibs, although not as slim I’m 188cm in height and find the leg length far too short. Pity as everything else about them is good. Ive started to get pedal mafia bibs from Perth in Aus, super comfy and great longer leg length. Aussie sizes are bigger than the Italian/Raphael/et al so you’d have to ask them about the leg length at the size you’d be looking at.

[@jaspreetsidhu5708]

I'm in the same boat. Another good brand would be q36.5

[@asherbeal8357]

6’1” 150# , 185cm 68kg. I am 46 and have worn the same size pants since I was 20.

[@tombowers7682]

Glad I found this at 187cm and 65kg I have similar problems, I’ve found Castelli good for very slim fit on the bibs even getting away with XL despite what the size guide says. however the shoulder straps still are a little short and mess with my posture. Annoyingly a general rule of thumb for clothing has been if it’s the most expensive legit pro team tier I’ve found the sizes tend to get taller not fatter but it’s not always the case and gets very expensive. I have the same issue with mountaineering kit too with my long arms

[@kennethstreet7868]

As a fellow freak(188c 160#) I find Specialized has some well fitting bibs, also Gore Bike has several in both summer and winter constructions below and above the knee. I also like endura and Sugoi

[@AussieInJapan]

As an XXL (heading towards XL) I can’t find anything in Japan and have found ordering Rapha (when on sale) has been good for me at the other end of the spectrum.

[@Rich_Mitch_Creative]

Hello, second comment as I've just remembered the Castelli oomloop bib shorts are EXTRA long, and go almost over most mere mortal's knees. They came out a few years back for pros to use in the spring classics, and I've seen them used by real pro racers I know and they all say how good they are [not paid to] So they could be perfect.

[@MrIammarkus]

I saw Isoles out of Denmark make long leg versions of their bibs.

[@joskoevoet9569]

I'm no spider myself, but I've tried shorts without bibs RH+ and have found them comfy.

[@onionvolcano1]

Tldr short recommendation at the end. Ok so I'm am almost your exact measurements + 1cm in height. I have also struggled with bib length, and I had the v1 of the maap bibs for a long time. For me, those were great, but would sometimes slip. I tried the endura bibs, and like you said the length was great. Likewise, I also didn't like that they didn't have a gripper band and were just lazer cut. My biggest problem, however, was the height of the short up my stomach. It just really was not tall enough, and I would get a gap between the shorts and my small-xsmall jerseys if I stood upright, so for like the last couple of months I've been looking for bibs that were tall up the front. I tried the eroe bibs that someone commented. Those were still short and didn't stay in place for me, but were exceptionally tall up front. I just tried the le col pro blackout bibs in a small, and these are perfect!! Nice, big leg grippers, really long (13 cm from the front of the knee/ 28-29 cm on person), and tall enough that they even cover my belly button so there is no gap to my jersey. Try them out! Tldr: Try the le col pro bibs, it's like they are built specifically for lanky people.

[@nicholascanterbury8579]

I'm a big beanpole (195cm and 70kg) and I can't go past the Pedla SuperFIT Knicks. The length is ideal and the lack of stitching makes them super comfy. I highly recommend them

[@ridesofjapan]

Nicholas Canterbury what size are you wearing? I actually got the pedla cargo bibs in small, but the leg gripper was rapha-style flappy so quickly sold them on to a mate. They felt really nice though.

[@kaffeemitcola6506]

Nice Video as always, I love your stuff... and its really interesting in which areas one can dig to become a little bit strange ;-) . 2cm is not so serious if you cope with tan lines two cm higher as usual or if you have a 2cm shorter Pant and one of your prefered length, you will get two tan lines with a nice tricolore.

[@michaelborg3017]

Great vid as always!!! 1 suggestion: have you considered some leg strength training? It would definitely help in the glutes tigh areas and riding in general ;)

[@ridesofjapan]

Strength training?... I heard that’s something you do off the bike... madness 😉

[@jeffjorgensen9927]

Best thumbnail ever?

[@chris_noswe]

I'll throw in a personal favorite and tip: the Gore C7 long distance bibs.

[@benge3092]

How much do u weight and how tall r u? Looking to see if they'd work for me given your size

[@charlesmansplaining]

I've always used some pretty expensive bibs but shy away from Assos because they were just crazy expensive. I saw their latest model of the Mille GTO on sale for $100 off so I got a pair. When I first went to put them on I was thinking this can't be right, they are way to small. But low and behold they were the right size. The material stretches out to form to your body in an amazing way. They come in to versions a regular length and a long leg length. I like long. They stay down and don't creep up my legs and the comfort is unlike any other bib I've used. You might want to give them a try and if you don't like the fit you can always return them. They also have a two year warranty. I've never gotten a set a bibs to last me even two years.

[@deeranfoxworthy6069]

This is so much the opposite of what I'd expect. I have thick thighs and I have issues finding jeans or shorts that don't feel like my circulation is being cut off without looking like dumpy dad shorts. While shopping for bibs, it always feels like they make them for those lanky looking guys in the peloton and not for people with thick thighs. I had no idea this was an issue. Good tips and glad you found some options!

[@ridesofjapan]

Seems like most brands just go straight down the middle, then make custom for their sponsored riders.

[@deeranfoxworthy6069]

@@ridesofjapan ah! I always forget about the custom route. That's true! Maybe you could find some hand-me-downs from those pro riders :P though I don't know if I'd ever want to buy a used bib lol

I have this problem somewhat, but my hips and quads are not skinny, but I’m still wearing a small with a 27” waist and 34” hips. I can’t wear bibs though I hate straps. Roka only offers their bib shorts on special, but they do offer an 11” inseam over the 9”, that’s a great length for me. I cut off the straps and I like the laser cut hem they have.

191cm /64kg and all legs. I know that struggle. My Rapha Pro Team V1 "long" work good for me, as well as their insulated version. I recently picked up a La passione PSN Bibshorts. It works well. But the absolut Bang for the bucks/Budget recommendation I have is the Sportful Neo Bibshorts. Longer then all the others, very comfy (even for 300km!) and you can pick them up for 50-60€ in Europe.

[@notnixx2912]

191cm 60kg here (I'm 16 so nothing to worry about). Sounds like I should give rapha a go then

[@philipskotzke]

Let me throw in another potential option. I'm 184cm/85kg and have quite big thighs. Size M always works for me, but recently I brought bib shorts from Morvélo and they are unbelievable long. So long in fact, that I need to think twice before wearing them on a sunny day, because the tan line will be just above the kneecap. *I just checked their website and the sizing chart says inside leg length to be 32cm for both M and S!

[@etops.flight]

I’m the same height as you, wish I was the same weight!

[@collinscycleworks]

If only you could do a video for the rest of the clothes in my wardrobe. 199cm and skinny upper body, everything is a nightmare 😭

[@cccpkingu]

Take the loose fitting ones to a tailor. If you have an old one worn out elsewhere you can add length from those.

[@ridesofjapan]

Bibs are expensive enough as it is ;)

[@11robotics]

I'm at the opposite end of the scale: I have very thick thighs for my height (183 cm) and I find myself quite often having to choose between bib shorts which fit the upper side of my body just fine but are way too tight on the thighs and bib shorts which properly fit my calves but stay way too loose on the body and shoulders. And the irony is that the models I've been used for years have started becoming tighter and tighter on the thighs for the same size as newer iterations were put on the market up to the point I had to move up from a size L to a size XL (even though all my other pairs of bib shorts are size L). And of course, because of that, the chamois-covered area is bigger than previously as well and is therefore misaligned.

[@ridesofjapan]

Judging by the comments this far, there seem to be quite a few outliers in both directions... you would think that some brand would pick up 😔 (without going custom tailored)

[@tobiasb3844]

I'm 190cm, 70kg and for jeans my waist size is 30 inches. I only have one pair so far, from Castelli. Not sure about the model, but it might be a Velocissimo. But I did get it in XL and its skin tight everywhere. Unfortunately I don't have any comparison when it comes to the padding (only a MTB short with padding, but not really comparable), but I'm usually pretty comfortable in my Castelli on rides up to 100km. Will keep an eye on the padding situation though, maybe I was simply satisfied because it was better than no padding at all ^^

[@flyingsquirrel575]

Endura makes long in certain models. Check carefully before ordering because the ‘normal’ length , which is the default, is egregious. Also, Pactimo make long in certain models. Long to them is 26.5 cm. An aside on Pactimo leg warmers and tights- they make them with zippers at the ankles. Super good feature not found from hardly any other mfr. . There’s also a nice thermal tight without pad- a nice option seldom seen. Pactimo seems to have it together.

[@idiotcommenter]

(188 cm / 64 kg.) I’ve never found bibs that fit right and probably never will. Some people will suggest the Black Bibs. A lot of people like them. They’re definitely cheap but I found they feel cheap too-they chafe horribly after ~1.5 hours or so. I’ve liked some stuff from Gore just because the straps and legs are often very stretchy but the inseams are a bit short. And I have found consistently that even the nicest Pearl Izumi shorts are super short + have straps that crush my 🥜. I’m going to try the Enduras out. Thanks for the rec and video fellow spider 🙏

[@Coddingtown]

I'm exactly that height and weight, and I've been solely running Pactimo for the last 8+ years because it's the only bib w/ a cuff that fits me properly. I always run size small. And the shoulder straps have plenty of stretch and never tight or pulling down.

@@peterbroberg3081 I haven't tried the regulars, but I would recommend a try given my experience with the ultimates plus the price.

How do you know if you have a longer torso or longer legs?

[@Adrian-ky4bi]

you know, people with athletic build have it hard too. Many clothes of different brands are too tight in chest area in size L and too big in belly area in size XL. The same with long trousers, if something fits on my thigs it will be too big in the ankle xD

Spider team : 1m83 and 86cm inseam. Rapha cargo bib in small is ok for me. Assos in small is not ok for exemple.

[@benjaminphotography2569]

Theoretically this video isnt for me as I can wear a size medium bib with 183cm and ~70kg. But with spider legs, it is also hard to find a well fitting bib. I went for Gore (I think C7) and it is a tad short, but has awesome straps. My favourite is the Rapha Core Cargo bib with its excellent pad and length. The straps could be a little longer. A mix of these two would be perfekt I guess.

I wish I could use rapha, but all their S size bibs have the flappiest leg gripper in the world on me 🕷

[@gavinmercak-dinolfo1375]

Does anyone know how to stop bib legs from riding up!? So annoying! I have an average to slender build if that's relevant.

[@nicsimpson8797]

Hey, try prism.bike. Has super long legs and can even ask for an extension. super comfy bibs. I'm 183 and run a small knicks too.

[@ridesofjapan]

Thanks, had a look atthe site but no mention of an extension options for a single bib order 🤔

あなたの立派な静脈血管がアスリートの証ですね。素晴らしい。ビブの特集はユニークですね。Tour de Franceで人気のないところで走りながら何かぷっぷーしてますが、丈の長さも影響しますね。

Can you do one for short fat people now?

[@adrienlimsowtin6662]

Interesting topic! You need to visit an alterations tailor 😁 The Endura pro SL long leg is now my "go to" bib short. Im 188cm, 79 kg and always find normal sizes way too short. Except my thighs are not skinny like yours - 41cm at the short leg opening. I went for the narrow pad (why do they offer wider pads??)

[@ridesofjapan]

I was really struggling to decide witch pad size to go with, always preferred larger pads (oddly enough) so went with medium, it works fine but I will definitely try the small pad if I get another pair.

[@adrienlimsowtin6662]

@@ridesofjapan ah, maybe because i use an ism saddle where there the contact point is a bit further back. I've got the shorts in narrow and medium pad and can't notice a difference. But i don't know of other brands that offer diffenrt size pads. I guess more choice is never a bad thing 😁

[@hanswittevrongel]

@@adrienlimsowtin6662 I use the wide pad since I also have wider sit bones and use a fizik Aliante Large -> perfect fit

[@47Seagull]

I'm only 175cm (71kgs(big ass I think)) but have the same problem with leg length. I've been using the Endura Pro SL. I first tried the minimal pad, but that isn't good for long rides, gone over to the medium pad; at the moment only on the turbo trainer, but have to admit I'm not impressed with the padding on Endura so far.
