White Ranger Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Hi People,My calysis's on both hands hurt so much! I have 3 on each hand under my fingers and they kill!! I'm so disappointed as this is the only thing that lets me down with trials and i can't ride as long as i would like to! Plus i cant be the only person that gets them so lets have ideas how to get rid of them....I've been told use nail clippers on them, burn them with a lighter!? or use vinegar!? None of those worked so lets have real ideas! Come on pro's let us in on your secrets!! I'd be so greatful!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 cant think of any secrets unfortunatley.Just put up with them and once you have been riding a long time they will harden and stop hurting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max-t Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 bear with it. if you would like to get rid of them when you get in the shower (if you do) get a pummice stone on it and scrub away in the bath/shower.continuously do this every day and moisturise them at night and they will become soft(Y)i had this problem and it was reaaallllyy bad!!! and now my hands are softer.your mum will know how to get rid of them so if you want help...ask her!max....

I'd be so greatful!!i have the same problem mate , somtimes so bad i have to stop for the day . i didnt have the problem with my old gloves but i do with the new ones. so what i do is wrap bandages around the area you described i only wrap it around about 2 or 3 times so its not to thick then i put my gloves on , and its problem solved no more pain try it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Beckett Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 mine are hurting at the moment because i haven't riden for 5 weeks due to a broken toe. you will find that they just get harder and stop hurting..... if you don't wear gloves then wearing them could help.just moistorise em or what ever hand cream crap your female family member has. lol.

poopipe Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 get rid of the dodgy downhiller grips with the stupid writing on (you know the ones) - they just shred your hands up whether you wear gloves or not. You want grips with almost no patterns on at all - foam is good but doesn't last long, some nice thin bmx grips are what you really want.

N.Wood Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Ride through it.For the most part, i wouldn't touch them with anything other than, say, moisturiser, as they're there for a reason. Don't cut/burn/eat/scrape them off just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebelistic Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 I get the same problem, but I think my handlebar grips are a bit crap because they are the lock on type that have a layer of hard plastic under the grip. I'll get some new ones soon.When they get bad I wear two pairs of gloves. I don't think my gloves are that great either.Over time they should improve as your hands get tougher.Can anyone recommend some good gloves (non leather) and grips as I'm not sure what to get next.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Aren't they a good thing? I've got 3 bad calluses on each hand(and two of them have blisters underneath them) and they do hurt like f**k, but they'll go hard and it will be all ok then.

lawrence osborn Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 There is not much point in getting rid of them you might as well keep riding no matter what the pain because if you get them off they will only just come back again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyoyo Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Leave them.It'a your body making your hands harder, to resist against the constant rubbing.Eventually they shouldn't hurt as much. And if they hurt when riding, give ten minutes(whilst still riding) and they should feel better again.Just something you have to deal with.

trials wannabe Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 hiunfortunatly the best thing to do is to put up with them untill your hands harden up ive had them since i was 10 but now i dont feeling anything and if that doesnt work try and invest in some gloves hope ive helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anzo Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 I have about 13 years worth of calluses and they hurt like f**k occasionally, simply because they get TOO thick and hurt my hands when they crease over...I find that a stanley knife and 9 hours sat around bored everyday at work helps them a lot...DO NOT use gay hand location, it'll soften your hands and instead of calluses you'll get blisters!!

Broomer Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 just get out and ride rather than moan about some hard skin?the more you ride the less you will even notice them or maybe get some gloves if they bother you that much.

Gavyn. Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 get some decent grips put them in salt water or vinegar and don't moisturise them you'll just soften the skin up again and it'll hurt all over again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
