[Closed] Help an old roadie......

solarider · 2016-02-16T21:57:46Z

I am a roadie at heart. Actually, I am a cyclist whatever the discipline, but I spend most of the time on the road. I am having a bit of a purple patch off road however and loving the mountain bike more right now. I have embraced many of the trappings of being a mountain biker with open arms, but 2 things have always been a mystery to me, and it feels like I might be missing out: Baggy Shorts - lycra just seems to give greater freedom of movement, but I seem to be the last chap at the trail head wearing roadie gear off road! Knee pads - they just seem to make it harder to pedal, but I can see the point in terms of protection, but I like trails and XC rather than jumps and tricks, so are they relevant? So, can somebody explain what I am missing, and recommend me some decent baggies and knee pads?

The problem with baggies is that for me they are a misnomer 😳

Kitsbow baggies are pretty awesome, and quite a tight fit. I have had quite a few pairs of baggies, and these stand out a mile.
