    On a slightly unrelated note, i'm having a hard time finding a Shimano shoes dealer in Dublin, do you know one? I fell in love with those RC7! <3

    There's more at fault than bad or poorly manufactured shorts if you got sore after just 24km no matter what you wore.. That or you've an exceptionally bony arse :p

    On the bony arse bit .... wishful thinking on my behalf, the padding on the Lidle shorts is very thin, no comfort in them at all , very noticeable last night having been wearing half decent stuff for the last 6 months. A 25 km commute is as far as I would wear them and as I don't commute I'll only use them again if stuck. I say lidle/ Aldi as I bought a pair of each last weekend and can never remember which is which .... crane/ crevit.

    Quickstep wear Crivit gear. They must be putting some serious effort into improving it. It used to be muck.

    I still wouldn't buy it. Get Castelli gear on sale.

    The Crivit technical undergarment tops are great, the vest is like 4 yoyos and as good as much more expensive stuff out there, I have a bunch of them, rarely ride without wearing one.

    Actually yeah. I have vests from Lidl. Forgot about that. They're grand, but then I'd never spend decent money on a vest.

    Agreed, I wouldn't bother with their Jerseys or Shorts, but the undergarments, socks, and gloves are all decent enough and priced very competitively.
