Shebeest Short Problems 2006/2007

Did I not post in the correct place? Just wondered. This was my second attempt at a post here. Just let me know please. Thanks

Yep, right place. I've never liked Shebeest, so didn't comment.

But I'm also, what event you're training for.

Triple Bypass.

I know it's not in the "ultra" category you guys ride V and Sarah. :P

But it's sure going to kick my butt!

Oh that'll be a butt-kicker! It will be good to have good shorts on your butt before it's kicked!

So not true! I keep thinking I'd like to do that, but it never fits my schedule. You'll have to write a report now.

Butt-Kicker-
UH HUH! Don't know how I was tricked into doing this ride.

Report, no prob. Will do.

Now just dress me! LOL (said in the most proper way!)

I had one very bad Shebeest experience and won't buy anymore of their product. It was a production error.

I thought I had the perfect shorts last year, but by August, they weren't so perfect. I'm beginning to wish for the perfect butt instead.

Have you ever tried the Nike Pro Race shorts? They made a great chamois in 2005 but last year they messed it all up. Chamois change, material change etc.....

Now Nike has passed the chamois and design to Trek. I just bought some of these shorts.

They are the Trek Circuit. Hmmm I am new here so I wonder if I am to not mention other brands.... but anyway.....


The problem for me about these shorts are I just have too big of a gut! Too much tissue left after a huge weight loss. The shorts are awesome. I have never had a chamois problem with these what so ever nor have I had any other problems. I just wanted something to hold my gut in better. These shorts feel like butter and so does the chamois.

OTOH, I still want to give Shebeest a try. Maybe I will attempt the Ultra's.

Curious V, what were the shorts last year and the problem? Can you say?

I have a friend I coached to do the Death Ride last year who'd also lost a significant amount of weight. I will ask her what shorts she likes.

Louis Garneau Airstreams. I wore them on my first double, with no creams of any sort, it rained and I had no problems. I wore them on my DMD attempt, 14 hours on the bike, my Davis Double and Little Red Riding Hood.

But sometime in August they started causing chafing in one spot on my butt.

I had lost a few pounds so I tried a smaller size, but I still had the chafing issues.

I did wear the smaller ones today and had no problems. Thom did just re-tension my saddle, so maybe it was something weird about the saddle and the shorts.

So right now I don't have any chamoises that I love for long distances. I wore my Assos knickers for 112 miles with Jo and they were okay, but the chamois kind of creeps on me. I don't think a size smaller in those would fit.

I have a ton of shorts though, so I'm going to keep wearing what I have and hope I fall back in love with a pair or two.
