I'm on the Manny program. I ride in underwear (usually Patagucci lighweight briefs or Ibex boxers, both of which are everyday garments) and MUSA shorts. All my bikes have Brooks B17 saddles in varied states of wear, which work for me and always have. I've done one-day double centuries multiple times with this set up with no trouble. Padded shorts are fine, and I ride in Ibex bibs from time to time, but on longer rides of over forty miles or so they actually seem to be less comfortable.
Assumptions: 1) rider is fit enough for the distance; 2) bike fit is close enough to "good"; 3) rider expectations are reasonable (any saddle / shorts / fit / shoes / etc. combo is going to result on some small amount of "contact awareness" relative to sitting on a couch for an hour). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
