Are Assos Shorts **** ?

[EasyDoesIt]

I bought a pair of Assos F1 Mille short a few months ago problem is i'm finding them VERY uncomfortable. I've a pair of cheap shorts that i had before i got the assos ones and over 3hr spins i'm finding these more comfortable than the assos ones !!! Anyone else find this or have i just got an abnormal **** ?

P.S. my saddle height is correct and i assume it can't be the saddle (Rolls) cos if it was then i'd still be uncomfortable with the cheap shorts.

Shorts are like saddles, each butt is different, and expensive does not mean it will be more comfortable!

There is quite a good article on bike shorts!

I love my Assos. I've had my bib shorts and bib knickers for a couple years and they still feel like they did when I first bought them. Maybe you could try some of their other models? Do you use chamois creme? It makes a world of difference.

My junior development team is sponsored by Pacitimo so I have never tried a

pair of Asso's, but Pacitimo makes awesome skinsuits,shorts and jerseys.

P.S:The Asso's Chamois Cream is a really great product, it completely stops friction which means no saddle sores.

Yeah i use the cream and i still don't find them as good as i thought they'd be. I'm using other cheap shorts at the moment gonna use them for a few weeks then go back to the Assos to see if they're any better,
