I've had it!

I was cleaning out my drawers the other day and came across a pair of Terry shorts--the ones that are recommended for distance rides. So I put it on this morning and took it for a long-ish ride.

No more Terry shorts for me. I had one of those rides where it started out great and then the last 12 miles were torture. I felt pain with each pedal stroke. Dumb chamois! Gah!

I also had painful situation with terry knickers today. I generally love them, and find them to be the most comfortable bottoms I have, but I just bought a new pair, and I got a small because the lbs I went to was out of mediums. When I tried them on in the store, they seemed to fit just fine. Well, not so on the bike. The whole ride I couldn't stop thinking about them, not in a good way. I think since I wore them it's too late to return them. $80 down the drain

Maybe you can sell them on TE.

I just opened a package from TE containing PI Sugar Knickers.

When I saw that chamois i just about died. IT'S GIGANTIC!!!!

Back they go

Zen, get the 3-D Pro chamois. Not too thick and really wicks the moisture. I have it in my bibs. I'm going to order me another PI with this chamois.

I swore PI's 3d elite was bigger than it used to be! I have an older pair of the ultrasensors, which has the 3d elite - and I love them, but when I went to the store to get another pair the chamois seemed ginormous.

I will say that the sugar knickers (with the 3d tour) are also HUGE, but felt fine on the bike.

Which ones? If they have the pink chamois (Flex Air), I'd be interested.

Yes, there's they have the pink flex air chamois. I only wore them for 18 miles. PM me if you're interested. I'll discount them, of course.

I went to the PI outlet in North Conway, NH last week.

I have the PI Sugar shorts, in a large, 2007 model. I was getting wary about them since I lost 48 lbs. The chamois seems too thick and bunches up. I liked them last year. I talked to the guy about it, who seemed knowledgeable. He said PI made all their chamois the same thickness for 2008. I bought some mediums, just in case it was the size difference.

On my Saturday ride, I had chafing, although I didn't feel the chamois bunch up anymore. It was the first time I ever used a lube on my chamois. It helped a lot, but I don't want to have to use lube every time.

I think now I'm realizing the thick part of the chamois is too wide at the narrowest part, compared to some Canari's and LG's that I have. They're still wearable, though.
