sorry if this has been asked million times already...
I need an padded shorts that actually work for making my but stand 150km+ (around 95 miles) a day without hurting as hell after 2 days of riding.
Have in mind that:
My last longride was 335km in 2 days and I managed to stand it but it was not a pleassure for my ass, since it really hurted afterwards...
Thank you for help :)
I assume given the distance, that you're doing this journey on a road and on a road bike?
You'll be pleased to learn that, as Criggie says, your height is pretty much irrelevant.
You will need to decide between shorts and bibshorts (which come up over your shoulders). Many riders prefer bibshorts because they dispense with the line of elastic around your waist, leaving your stomach "unpressured". But it does really boil down to personal preference.
You also need to remember that there's no silver bullet here. Many experienced cyclists will choose a particular brand of clothing because they tried it in the past and it worked for them. And, not all brands of clothing work for all riders.
Having said that, if you are looking for high-end kit and are prepared to pay for it, I would suggest you could do a lot worse than to look at the kit that the professional teams are using. Not the replica kit, but the team issue kit. You'll pay for it - I'm guessing a ballpark of €200 for a pair of bibshorts - but you are at least getting kit that has been designed to be worn for 5-6 hours over a few hundred kilometers.
Alternatively, you could go to a good (online?) cycle shop, and to start looking at the most expensive kit they stock.
It is a bit of a crass argument to say "best == most expensive", but really until you develop a taste where you can say "such-and-such a brand works well for me", you have to make a punt of some kind.
There's almost nothing height-specific in a pair of biking shorts.
335 km in two days is a lot of riding - 167 km a day is huge! You're going to be sore after that kind of ride no matter what.
Can you tell us more about the injury? I'll guess for now based on my experiences.
Saddle/arse pain If your problem is in the bum muscles, then its a weight and saddle issue. No amount of padding will help if your saddle is too thin or too thick. Search this site for "sit bone width"
If the saddle checks out, it might be time for a bike fit. They're not cheap but they do pay for themselves in comfort. Us lanky types need extra consideration about how the bike fits, and how we fit the bike. You might benefit from putting a tiny bit more weight on your hands and on your pedals. Periodically get out of the saddle for a short sprint too, this allows the blood to flow back into the deprived areas.
A short rest every hour is always a good idea. Eat, 3-5 minutes of standing and you're good. Even standing over the bike is fine, as long as your posterior is getting a break.
Chaffing I found that the more I biked, the looser my pants got because of weight loss over time, and as the pants aged the elasticity decreased. Together these add up to baggy pants, which induces chaffing.
reduce chaffing by applying petroleum jelly (or some specific+costly bum butter) to the areas before your ride.
If your pants aren't tight, they're too loose, so either take them in or buy new ones.
No gruds/undies/briefs/jocks/boxers/etc under biking pants/shorts with padding. Seriously.
Other I bought normal length pants because the waist was right, and they finish about half-way up my shins. This is not too bad because the ankles are exposed and provide a bit of cooling. And a place to sunburn as I discovered on one particularly sunny ride.
EDIT I just did a 12 hour bike ride yesterday, and my pants were fine. The Petroleum Jelly did well, so no chaffing the whole way. My only problem came from sunburned ankles, because I forgot to put sunblock on down there and as I rode, the pant cuffs rode up and socks rode down exposing skin.
