FAQs
Are these shorts suitable for indoor cycling?
Yes, the breathable mesh straps and moisture-wicking polyester fabric make them well-suited for indoor training sessions.
How do I use the dropseat feature?
The dropseat is designed to allow the rear section to be pulled down easily without unzipping your jersey or removing the straps from your shoulders.
What does the EIT chamois stand for?
EIT stands for Elastic Interface Technology, a renowned Italian manufacturer of high-performance cycling pads.
Should I wear underwear under these bibs?
No, you should wear these directly against the skin to gain the full benefit of the chamois and to prevent chafing.
Are the reflective details sufficient for night riding?
The reflective details improve visibility in low-light conditions, but they should be used in conjunction with active lights on your bike.
Troubleshooting
Shorts shifting during rides
Ensure your skin is free from lotions or oils before putting on the shorts, as these can interfere with the silicone grippers.
Chamois discomfort
Verify that the shorts are pulled up correctly into the crotch area to align the pad with your sit bones; consider using chamois cream for ultra-distance rides.
Strap pulling or bunching
Adjust the seamless mesh straps so they sit flat against your shoulders without twisting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Madison Flux shorts, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Wear them without underwear for maximum comfort and to prevent chafing.
- Washing: Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius using a gentle cycle with a mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry only; do not tumble dry as the heat can degrade the silicone leg grippers and the integrity of the chamois.
- Maintenance: Check the silicone grippers for dirt or mud after rides to maintain their grip, wiping them down with a damp cloth if necessary.
