Keep losing threads on inner thighs of bibs...any tips?

[Pbase]

I’d bet money you’re rubbing on something. I ruined several pairs of Assos shorts before I noticed I was rubbing the saddle through. The Assos rep did me a massive solid and replaced them when I first noticed the problem, but after rubbing through the new ones, I realized it was the saddle and not the shorts. Looking through the forums, it seems to be short nosed saddles, probably from rubbing on the wings.

Power saddle & chamois

I have the pro stealth. Word of warning if you are thick-of-thigh; it is an absolute bib destroyer. Every pair of bibs I have with exposed stitching will inevitably disintegrate at the threads that hold the hold chamois in place near the inner thigh. I’ve also rubbed the paint off the rails down to the metal near the front of the saddle due to said thigh-brushing.

Power saddle & chamois

I had the same issue with the Pro Stealth and rubbed holes in several pairs of Assos bibs.

Power saddle & chamois

I had this issue on the Romin 143mm I used to ride before the Power 155mm. Bunch of bibs with worn out stitching, and worn saddle rails. Dont have the same issue on the Power. I did move the Power a fair bit further forward that the Romin as recommended by Specialized
