FAQs
Are these bib shorts suitable for very long rides (e.g., 100+ miles)?
Yes, the Uma GT Bib Shorts S11 are designed as an endurance model, featuring a breathable insert and comfortable textiles ideal for long-distance cycling.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the Assos sizing guide, which typically relates waist and hip measurements to specific sizes. It is recommended to have a snug fit without being restrictive.
Can I use these shorts in cold weather?
While designed for breathability, they can be layered with leg warmers for cooler conditions. For very cold weather, consider specific winter cycling tights.
How often should I wash the bib shorts?
It is recommended to wash the bib shorts after every use to maintain hygiene and preserve the fabric and chamois integrity.
What is the main difference between the Uma GT and other Assos models?
The Uma GT line is typically positioned as the core endurance model, focusing on comfort and utility for everyday riding, often featuring trickle-down technology from higher-end series.
Will the 'true-black' color fade?
The QUARTZ textile is designed for a permanent true-black color that resists fading and becoming transparent, even after multiple washes when cared for properly.
Troubleshooting
Bib straps feel too tight or loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. The rollBar bib straps are designed to stay in place; check for proper positioning on your shoulders.
Leg grippers are uncomfortable or sliding.
Verify that the shorts are pulled up fully and evenly. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size; the grippers should lie flat against the skin without pinching.
Chamois feels uncomfortable after a ride.
Ensure the shorts are washed after each use. Some break-in time may be required for the chamois to conform to your body. Proper saddle height and position can also affect chamois comfort.
Fabric color appears faded after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and washing in cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals or direct sunlight during drying, as these can affect colorfastness.
