Anyone have experience with theblackbibs.com bibs?

It kinda fits your MO, but you cheating yourself

I should probably try another pair that fits better but shorts work fine.

Once you get use to never having back gap, can’t go back. Also, for winter riding, you never get the draft up the back

Not an issue, except for dec riding

Padded shorts at least or do you have a stainless steel grundle?

Chamois of course. I really don't see the advantage to bibs - just makes it more difficult to take a piss (remember 60+ yr prostate).

Your prostate is being pressured by all the goddamn white rice jamming up your colon.

I don’t want to hijack this thread but check out the Zoic Carbon bib liner.

too much rice?

the bibs don't have the elastic around the waist, so less pressure on the bladder.
ymmv

only wear shorts when bibs are in the laundry.....
and have bib knickers, and thermal bibs......

 

[Santapez]

I can't say I notice the shorts elastic being too much of a problem. However I grab the shorts for shorter events, bibs for longer (or colder) events so that may have something to do with it.

But yeah, the longer/colder events w/ bibs make the pissing thing so much more annoying. Some are better than others in this regard, I think the club ride ones take this into account. The woman's specifically have the back that unzips thing.

Bibs for life. I don't own shorts. These have been holding up well for me. The one leg gripper has a seam that's letting go but that's easily fixable. I've been wearing these whenever I'm not in my team kit which is on a lot of long training rides. They still fit well and I have no pressure point issues.

The Zoic Carbon bibs have a very well designed fly. That was the reason I mentioned them above. I forgot to quote @rick81721 about the pissing. Unlike the blackbibs they are not inexpensive.

I forgot about that - i do have thermal bibs and will wear regularly when it's really cold, but most of that nonsense should be in the past.

My Black Bibs arrived when I was in Kingdom. First time trying bibs.
They fit perfectly. Medium in size as there size chart suggested.
Looking forward to my first road ride.

 

[rick81721]

Been riding with these for a few months - so far, so good. Fits well, really comfortable. See how long they last

Final opinion on these - they suck. After more than 1 hr riding, chamois feels like it's not even there.

 

[Dominique]

I bought 2 (Medium Men) pairs of these and I like them so far. I think the chamois is thicker in those than my other Champion pairs, so maybe I'm used to thin ones?!!

How long has you ridden them overall?

Are you talking about the titled blackbibs? My response is on nooyme shorts - low cost but not blackbibs.
