General Discussion / thin liner for cycling shorts

« on: November 03, 2021, 12:43:40 pm »

In the 1970's I had cycling shorts with a thin chamois liner. All the shorts I've  tried recently have very thick padding which doesn't work for me. Anyone know of a short or liner with a thin chamois or something comparable?

I posted a similar question on a Facebook Fargo site and here are some of the tires folks are using:

Schwalbe Marathon Supreme 622-50

Specialized pathfinder pro 42mm
Specialized Sawtooth 700x42
Mezcals
WTB Venture 50

I didn’t realize that. That will open up some possibilities provided the 700c will fit the rim width.

Thanks!

I was just wondering what tires people use for road touring on 29" wheels. I will be going from Great Falls, MT to Anacortes, WA on the Northern Tier Route this summer on my Fargo.

Unless you are thoroughly trained in the safe use of firearms I would say no, too many things can go wrong like killing an innocent bystander or even shooting yourself. Carrying the extra weight wouldn't be worth it. If you are worried about defense against people and/or animals I would carry bear spray.
