DOH!
I remember seeing this when you put a link to this site when I first joined... will have a proper look in the next couple of weeks - school holidays and I am taking some time off work to be with the kids
Thanks again Irulan

oh how cool! and i could actually make shorts shorter! than the waaaaaaaaaay long ones they sell in the stores!

[Irulan]

you could just alter store bought and reset the elastic if you want to go shorter.

lol! ya know.. i never thought of that! i just end up rolling them up! i may have to do that to pair and see how they turn out! of course i'd still leave them a bit longer and roll them up say one roll on the bike (i roll them too high for stopping or wearing at rest/sag stops.. i always unroll them again at the stops!)

LOL! I do the same thing. I roll them up while riding and back down while stopped.

Irulan, if you shorten shorts with the gripper elastic, do you put in your own elastic then? Or is there some way to purchase and use gripper elastic? One other question- do you find the chamois you sew yourself to be as comfortable as that in shorts purchased?
