Is there ever a good time for 3/4 length bibshorts?
I've eschewed the 3/4 length bibshort. It seems such a half-way house between the standard and full-length bibshort. If it's warm standard shorts apply and if it is cold, then full-length ones sort that out.....and if there is any doubt then having the leg warmers covers the bases.
But this year, with the onset of autumn I've been thinking about 3/4 length for a change. Perhaps I don't want my porridge too hot, nor too cold, but just right.
I thought I would do a quick straw-poll as to what your thoughts are, yay or nay? At point when the mercury dips do you decide on these?
OR should I apply rule #5?

Interesting pedal but I think they'll need to unclip the pedal price from the shoe price as £592 is off-putting.

Very useful. Decided could do without 'em and just use knee warmers, but changed my mind. Knee warmers are a fiddle.
Knee warmers. Cheaper and more versatile. I've been wearing mine for weeks and it'll be a while before it's cold enough for tights.

If you have iffy knees like I do then 3/4s will help. Someone recommended me the Endura FS260Pros and mine are still going strong 4 years later. I recently bought the Endura Equipe's which have a fleece backing and are comfy but tbh I can't help thinking I should just have got another pair of the 260s.
I too was a non-believer until I tried them.
I flipping love 'em.
I find it comes between being a glass-half-full and a glass-half-empty kind of situation.
Yeah, if in doubt, #5
