I'm currently using inexpensive Planet X 365 bibshorts ( http://www.planetx.co.uk/i/q/CLPXP3BS/planet-x-pro-line-365-x-bib-shorts ) and a Spa cycles Nidd saddle that has over 2000 miles on it, so is broken in. My bike, a Hewitt tourer, was fitted to me by the man himself. I cycle regularly, often over 100 Km, occasionally up to 170 Km and sometimes on consecutive days.
I experience some discomfort in the sit bone area after about 50 Km or so and mitigate this by standing on the pedals for a few strokes if on a long climb, or by standing for periods as I descend. Its really not bad and if it were not possible to gain an improvement in comfort then it wouldn't really be a concern.
So, in the opinion of the panel, am I likely to notice much difference in comfort by investing in more expensive bibshorts please, say around £100 or a bit more if necessary?
Thanks
