crazy-legs - MemberI don't wear Grandad pants, I wear ycra cos it's the best material out there for riding a bike in. Sometimes I wear baggies over it, sometimes just the lycra.
You try doing a 24hr race in unpadded shorts or (even worse) pants under lycra then get back to me on issues of comfort...
11 laps at Sits (solo) a couple of years ago in unpadded natural fibre - not a hint of sweaty sore botty. Nice comfy padded saddlea nd thudbuster.
Plenty of air circulation which you don't get with lycra
You try doing a 24hr race in unpadded shorts
yes but only masochists would attempt such a ghastly thing so added suffering would be a bonus...
I have a mate who knows the weights of various of his clothes because the rules for Polaris challenges state that you have to have a waterproof and waterproof trousers
Actually now you mention that, I have weighed some clothing!
Pace had a competition many years ago where you could win a whole wardrobe of Pace clothing if you guessed the weight of their new "racing" range - lightweight shorts, mesh jerseys, enduro style lightweight waterproof etc.
know for a fact juan wears a leopard-skin thong uder his lycra!
Crap I did told your daughter not to mention it to you 😉
String vest, carrier bag around your nethers, cotton wool sellotaped to your head and SPD cleats superglued to bare feet. Sorted.
Loving this thread... 😆
Doesn't Tinker Jurez do 24hr races without padding?
No ideas if he's a string vest guy though.

I wondered why she wouldn't be my Facebook friend...
