I like the Performance Ultra bib shorts. They usually go on sale pretty cheap and they last a long time. I like the older ones with the green chamois.
There are lots of opinions regarding shorts and bibs. I have Castelli, LG, Performance brand, and a couple others. I like them all pretty well but the Performance with the green chamois are as comfortable for me as the others. I picked up three pairs for under $50 per pair and usually reserve the Performance for my stationary bike or for spinning. Stationary riding seems to be harder on shorts and the performance shorts wear very well. Pearl Izumi are probably my favorites because the pair I have fits so perfectly and has great ventilation. What don't you like about the Performance? I don't like some of their stuff but their Ultra bibs work well for me.
Josh, keep us posted! I look forward to hearing about your progress. George - for short rides, I can't tell the difference between most bibs. Lots of people share your opinion about Ultras and lots like them. I've done century rides in mine without problems. You either like a thick chamois or you don't. Good luck with your triathlons!
Planning on a 50K ride on Sunday for charity...holy hell I am out of shape, this is gonna hurt. I was only going to sign up for 25k, but a girl got me to do the 50k....I guess I can do it slow.
I have a set of those tires for my Niner Rip 9, full suspension 29er. Lots of fun on pavement, especially in the corners Also, try riding with your fork locked out if you haven't yet. With tires that large on pavement, there's really no need for suspension up front.
