why oh why

[roadiewill]

...do dhb put zips on the bottom of their bibs? what are they meant to achive other than coming undone and the digging/cutting into your skin.

 

[yenrod]

Id be interested in why too...

 

[roadiewill]

I mean.. thery dont even make the fit around the ankles tighter do they? Its puzzled me, ah well...

 

[hambones]

er......so they remain closed tight and snug around your ankle!!

 

[hambones]

There's no accounting for odd shaped legs though is there?

 

[roadiewill]

er......so they remain closed tight and snug around your ankle!!

But surely just normal lycra/grippers would achieve this...

 

[hambones]

OOOh nooooooo - the velcro would make a double layer - unsightly!!

 

[roadiewill]

velcro..wtf?

 

[fossyant]

Why oh why don't many bibs and tights have foot loops....eh... I prefer foot loops....

 

[roadiewill]

exactly... I saw that cycling weeklys subscription offer is some altura bib longs WITH foot loops

 

[hambones]

i find both loops and zips work perfectly for me. I would struggle to get them on (and definitely off) without the zips, which when done up make a very tight snug fit

I have that problem, and it is exacerbated with overshoes. My solution was to turn the legs round so the zip is more at the side.

My Santini bib longs also have zips at the bottom and I never really have a problem and find them a benefit when taking them off.
