My B Day present from the Wife, 2015 Specialized Camber 29. My last bike a GT Karakorem Elite was stolen a few months back when she forgot to close the garage. Worse, I was 10 feet away in the kitchen and didn't hear a thing.
Anyway it's a hell of an upgrade. I'm taking it out this morning for its maiden voyage...can't wait!
Opinion time, padded riding shorts or just cowboy up?? Been out for a couple 20k rides the last couple days and holy beejesus my arse is tender. My riding buddies had said a while ago to invest in some padded riding shorts, are they worth it or should I just get break my ass into the seat haha.
The only riding I do without them is commuting. On shorter MTB rides I don't think they're completely necessary, but for longer rides they definitely help with comfort. I would say they're worth it for sure. I typically wear my road bibs under some baggy shorts.
