   Bit boring I know, but apart from Rapha and Assos, who makes the most comfortable lycra shorts? Need some new ones.

   I've got Gore and they're good. Got some DHB stuff to and it's equally as comfy and cheaper

   5+ years of sterling service from my cheapo Decathlon jobbies, all worn on a weekly basis too. Bargaintastic.

   Santini. I have Assos, Gore, and Skins and the Santini ones are always my first choice. Very comfy.

    DHB convert here. Look at their "Pace" Roubaix range for some amazing value bibs and bib longs with super comfortable pads.

    Recently discovered DHB, quite expensive (Aeon, or somesuch) Lovely material, Cytech insert (as used by Assos)

    Sugoi RS are my favs, particularly good for longer rides.

    I know Endura are one of the 'brands we like to hate' but both MT500 and FS260 bib shorts and 3/4s have been fine with me for ages.

    I've been using MT500's for years. Very comfortable and last well.

    I found Ground Effect's range of lycra shorts incredibly comfortable and really good quality.

    DHB's are good for the cash but my Gore Power 2's are far more comfy.

    My favourites are Castelli Free Aero or DHB Pro Race, can't say I notice a difference in pad comfort but the DHB's are cut a bit more generously so my package isn't squeezed as much :p

    Cheers folks, heard good stuff about the DHB pace roubaix gear. T

    his is for the Bear Bones 200km ride, where I will be wearing them for 24hrs+ and riding 200km... so they need to be good (and I don't have the money for Assos)

    I recently got some DHB shorts and 3/4 and was impressed by them. Use to go for Endura but found the quality has dropped
