Troubleshooting
Leg grippers sliding or bunching up
Ensure the silicone on the inside of the leg is clean and free of oils or lotions, which can reduce grip.

Bib straps feeling tight
Verify you are wearing the correct size according to your height and waist measurements; ensure straps are not twisted.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Rapha Core Bib Shorts, follow these care instructions. Always wash in a machine at 30 degrees Celsius and use non-bio detergent. Hang the garment to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area, avoiding direct sunlight or tumble drying, as high heat can damage the integrity of the silicone grippers and fabric elasticity. When putting on the bibs, ensure the straps are laid flat against your shoulders to prevent twisting during your ride. These shorts are compatible with all standard road cycling saddles and can be paired with any Rapha jersey for a unified, aerodynamic setup.
