They arrived today so I went for 90 minute tempo ride as soon as I pulled them out of the package.

Honest question: Are you not washing your cloths, bibs especially, before first ride? Maybe I'm weird but I'm not sure I want my junk rubbing against any industry left-overs from the factory.
Slow on the climb. And everywhere else.

It's not only left-overs. To not have transport damages from fabric eaters , they put chemicals on the clothes. That's definitely  what you don't want on your skin.

Yesterday received spexcel top and penis knockoff bibs (pimmer) - I can't believe how far Chinese cycling clothing has come over the years. Both are excellent, I'd say the PNS bibs are about 85% of the real deal, and good enough for training.

The Spexcel top is lovely, apart from the zip. I just wish the Chinese clothing had better zips, but apart from that, all ok!

I was really hoping for superpowers for maybe some exciting color transfer.  Nothing happened, Just a nice ride comfortable ride.     Some of the graphic they put on the chamois started to peel off. Sent them a message about it and they offered me $6 off my next purchase.  Acceptable given its not something that *should* affect how the chamois functions.

Anyone can recommend a long bib for autumn/winter with extra long legs for tall riders?

Anyone have luck with a good set of cargo bibs?
I dislike my Spexcel pair for longer rides.

Thanks, but their size chart goes only to 185cm. I'm 2m...

Cheji seem to be tall person friendly. I'm 190cm and have 3 of their skinsuits in large and a pair of long bibs in xl. They go up to xxxl so may cater for you, Shaq.

I'm the same height, can I ask what's your weight and how well the XL and the L fits you? Thanks!

I have a pair of Cheji bib shorts, and it has the shortest legs of all my bib shorts. So short that I only use that pair on the indoor trainer.

No probs. I'm 80kg and 92cm inseam, I prefer the fit of the large skinsuit but the material is really stretchy. I got xl for the long bibs because I never really know how stretchy the straps will be or how long the legs will be. I reckon large would've been fine because the straps are really stretchy and leg length is fine.

I am 187 with 87.5 inseam and find cheji bibshorts length perfectly. In size XL they are longer then my assos in the same size. On the longer side I own L size spexcel bib shorts and they are almost touching the knee.

Attached few photos from what I've found in the gallery so you can see the difference

How would you rate the Cheji bibs compared to Spexcel and Assos?
