Shorts ride up leg when riding bike

Post by HAZBRO » 02 Sep 2013 16:57

My nice new frc range cycling shorts constantly ride up my leg when im riding my bike, When I put my shorts on they stay at a nice length, but as soon as I get on the bike, they decide they need to move up the leg! this makes the shorts even shorter! Why!!!!!
There Medium size, and was advised to go one size higher than I am already! What could be the problem, is there a solution, or am I screwed!

That was my first impression, so just checking if I can do anything about it if that's not the problem

Sounds like you've only really got two options: smaller shorts or bigger legs.

Its funny because I looked on the internet and one of the solutions were, if your legs are hairy then it means the leg band thingys cant grip the skin well!

Smaller shorts then it is, I will sell my beacon medium frc range shorts, at a slightly cheaper price than what was payed for them, washed of course! Providing I can get a pair of small!

Cheers guys!

I guess that makes sense, but probably only if the shorts are only slightly too big.
