  1. what underwear should you wear to prevent injuries , scratches and balls
    of course

  2. Try silk underwear. I dont think about that becouse i know i should
    harden myself and i dont have any injuries, my seats out of my legs and
    sight of my balls.

  3. Get a pair of bike shorts and wear them underneath your regular
    clothes.

    that way you wont get chaffed,and it pulls your stuff up and keeps it
    together.

  4. For long rides, I suggest bike shorts, or at least spandex. But when
    you're just doing either freestyle, or trials, or something, then I bet
    most anything will work.

  5. I knew this thread would appear someday:

    I personally prefer bikeing shorts on longer rides, they prevent caffing
    and lessen the chance of a nutbuster on a UPD. On shorter rides, I would
    reccomend you whear something that doesn't buch up, and is still
    comfortable... longer boxers are a no-no in my opinion...

  6. Padded bike shorts are the way to go. While we're on the topic of
    covering your bottom half, does anyone have any favorite pants that can
    handle the rubbing? I'm finding that all my pants are getting worn down
    on the inner thighs. I'm thinking I'll start wearing an old pair of
    baggy "cycling shorts" over my pants to avoid buying new pants every
    month.

    I bought some black Adidas thin sweatpants that are all cotton-like
    material. The are flexible, soft, not too hot ever, and not too cold
    ever, and they are relativeley cheap and durable.

    You might want to check some out.

  8. Padded bike shorts are best. They hold everything in place so that all
    the sudden movements don't whiplash all your goods around. I usually
    just wear the padded bike shorts with typical gym shorts over that. You
    do not want to have any underwear under your bike shorts, unless you
    really like the wedgies.

  12. I wear crash pads for downhill muni stuff. They're similar to the 661
    bomber shorts (the newer ones are a black stretch material; somewhat
    like under armor shirts):

    Another similar model:

    I would highly recommend something like this if there's any chance of a
    tailbone hit. Offroad in Arizona can be very gravely downhill--I've
    slipped and smashed my ass more than a few times without any effect.

    I wear Under Armour boxer briefs beneath the crash pads, for sweat
    wicking and comfort. These should be at your sporting goods store.

    hey. I've gone through my share of shorts and pants as well. I find that
    nylon pants or shorts with very tight/small/smooth stitching last the
    longest. I avoid cotton.

    I think the other thing to think about is how smooth your seat is. I had
    a nylon roach seat cover that was pretty rough and seemed to eat my
    shorts. Also a crappy KH where the cover was ripping right where it
    touches my thighs....you know how it happens.
