King C Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Hi, I ride a mod with a front free wheel at the moment. The gearing is 16:12 and when I go riding my jeans get caught between my freewheel and the chain. They're eating my jeans. I wouldn't mind as much if it was only now and then but it happened 5 times yesterday. Has this happened to any of you before and/or do you have any solutions.I would appreciate any help given.Cheers King Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARSE! Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Wear shorts or tuck your trousers into your socks are the only solutions, apart from thebest solution which is buy a profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anzo Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 A bit off topic, but one of my mates (retard) once put a cable tie around his wrist when he was in the middle of a field. He thought it would be funny to really pull on it, but then obviously, he couldn't get it off.His hand changed to every colour of the rainbow as he ran home and cut it off he went to hospital and everything was ok, so it was a lucky escape.Moral of the story, cable ties and retards don't mix.They do kind of scare me, it wouldn't take a deranged lunatic two seconds to put a cable tie around your neck and tightening it, you'd have no way of surviving unless you have a knife on you.

There doesn't seem to be a way of stopping my left trouser leg getting jammed under my rear booster when I roll off kerbs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
