Dan6061 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 It's just your muscles/skin toughening up. All you can really do is man up and get through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradJohnson Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Gloves help but you can also buy lizard skin lever blade covers from halfords for about a £1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Don't bother using gloves when you first start. It's going to hurt at some point so you may as well get the thicker skin sorted and then it's out of the way. I like to see it as trials initiation 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForrestDump Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 You'll soon forget about sore fingers when you hurt something else, and then you'll be worried about that. My hands were aching after riding all half term, turns out that just pushing through the aches and pains does get rid of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
