chamois is smal, thin, summer bib. I don’t feel like they are long. I’m just 5’5" use a small, it fits me well, I’m around 140lbs, good compression on the legs and no long straps or legs
I’m a large 6’ 180. Everything fits fine just like their other bibs. I have Le Col bibs that have a diaper but these are fine. Also the Le Col bibs are fine on the bike but just feel weird walking around.
It’s not a huge chamois. The legs are longer than most other bibs. Just a tiny bit, but it was enough to make them bunch behind my knees.
Thanks
I will order a pair. It’s still hot here. The Le Col bibs are a bit weird. I use them on the trainer. On the road I move a lot on the saddle. The Le Col kind of stick to you. I have been using the Velocio ones. Kinda pricey.
Silca has lots of scratch/dent/damaged packaging items up for sale now at 20-60% off MSRP. If you sign up for emails you get another 10% off. Ended up getting a chain waxing system (damaged box for $67), mattone saddle bag (no packaging $27) and chisela computer mount (damaged packaging $67). Ships for free over $125… I saw they have Terra floor pumps for 40% (would be $75 with email signup).
Flytes are my favorite, I notice the length at the start of a ride, but never bugs me once rolling.
Summit Raptors are my second choice, excellent bibs, hold up really well and very comfortable.
The Summit Stratos 12 hours do not get along with me.

Be careful with the honeycomb fabric on Pactimo black bibs. For some reason it gets very “revealing” after a few washes. We’ve had team members that had black version and navy blue and the black ones for some reason faired a lot worse than navy. These were on Summit Stratos bibs without the 12h padding.
Got my first “holiday deals” in my inbox today (from Thunder Mountain and Specialized). Nothing spectacular just yet… but get your wallets ready… Winter is coming! 
I had 2 pairs of those bibs in my rotation and they wore though on the inside crotch area in ~ 8 months (2 pairs of my 6 or so bibs in rotation, riding about 500 hrs/yr total). They replaced them under warranty and one of the of the warranty replacements has worn though already 
Pactimo pads work very well for me and I’ve had great luck with other bibs from them. I can’t recommend the 12 hour Summit Stratos bibs though!
Got a pair in the post today. They are a bit long. My fear is they bunch up in back of the knee. Have to wash and dry them. Will see if they shrink a bit. I emailed them and they can be cut and the seam re stitched by a pro (spouse in my case.) The pad is very similar to my Velocio’s.
WTB Riddler (37mm) gravel tires are 50% off at Jenson. I bought 2 of these in Sept for inexpensive training tires. With over 1000 miles, turns out I really like them. Just bought 2 more to have on hand as I do a lot of miles. WTB Riddler 700X37 Tire | Jenson USA
Just got an email from Garmin, and it set me to a page that had categories of items for gift giving, and at the bottom of the cycling gifts was two entries for the New 3M Smart Trainer. I included the items above to show it’s actually a twofer for that item. So does Garmin have a lot of those in a warehouse somewhere? I can only wonder…

Scion has half of their bike travel cases and some other discounts. But even at half off, the prices seem insane to me for a soft case. Wouldn’t a hard case do a better job of protecting the bike? Or would it get beat to hell by bag handlers?
They regularly have their bags 50% off…so that is more the “normal” price.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both types of bags (hard vs. soft). Hard cases are definitely more durable, but harder to move around once you are at your destination. Soft bags are lighter and more portable, but not as durable.
I’ve been using a SpeedHound soft bag for a little over 2 years now…over 10 trips with it, including multiple international trips. It has been great and I have not had any issues. It is a bit less than the Scicon cases, but probably not quite as durable. For the extra $150-$200, I’d probably get the Scicon now…especially since you could leave your bars on it.
ETA - I used a Serfas hard case prior to the SpeedHound. Rock solid and durable, but I definitely prefer a soft case over a hard case for myself.
Why are these marked down so much?
Looks like they are throwing on whatever components they have to clear out frames they had in stock.
