Stiching in my shorts seems to wear out, Need a fix

Submitted by Rmarcus on Sun, 09/03/2023 - 5:56pm

Hi Folks, 

I seem to wear out the inner right seat stiching that holds the chamois in place.

This happens on several pairs of Pctimo bib shorts and I think it's "ME" and not in itself the quality of the shorts.

I have had fixes through warranty and local tailors who stitch them up. Using several pairs allows the issue to not be crucial but am looking for a tailor or company who speacializes in these sort of repairs. When the tailor fixes them, they do last a fair amount of time but also may be the thread type.

 

As I am NOT a seamstress I can tell that Pactimo uses a straight 3 row stitch and the shorts that last longer use a Coverstitch method and that lasts longer but the Pactimo brand are more comfortable. Thoughts?

Comfy road bike seat.

Hello to all,

I am looking for a comfortable seat that can replace the one that came with my Specialized Roubaix Expert bike (2014). It's been a painful experience ever since I bought the bike.

Would prefer to spend under $150..preferably under $100.

I realize seats are a personal thing but thought I would start here with some possible recomendations.

Any thoughts?

 

Thanks,  Clark
