What shorts for Off road MTB Dualthon

stevep1000uk Sep 2012 10:24am, 7 Sep 2012 19 posts	0 stevep1000uk Any recomendations on what to wear shorts wise for an off road mountain bike duathlon ? I'm thinking my road cycling bib shorts aren't going to be comfy on the run. Had a very quick look on Wiggle for tri shorts but lots of choice and quite pricy. The ride is 24km and the saddle on my MTB is practically a sofa compared to road bike so just normal running shorts ?

Stepford Wife Sep 2012 7:08am, 14 Sep 2012 17101 posts	0 Stepford Wife I have done an MTB duathlon in running shorts figuring I spend a lot of time out of the saddle on the MTB. That was fine. I'd also only bought the bike the day before but that's another story entirely.
Gobi Sep 2012 7:08am, 14 Sep 2012 48607 posts	0 Gobi My theory is that if you are racing then dress to race. Then again I bet the saddle on my MTB is not exactly comfy
Stepford Wife Sep 2012 7:11am, 14 Sep 2012 17104 posts	0 Stepford Wife 24 km on a bike isn't that far so if you can't afford new shorts I would hazard running shorts would be ok on the bike but cycling shorts a pain on the run
