ollie2000 Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 hi,I run a front freewheel on my zona zip and i was ridin along the road one handed and my trouser leg got stuck in my freewheel so I pedaled backwards and then i rememered that you cant pedal backwards to make the chain moveI took loads of time tryin to get my trouser leg out Finally i got it out I ripped my trousers tryin to get it out i was wonderin if anyone else had done this and if they had this much trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tylerlovesalex Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 yes mate it happens all the time my advice don't were lose trousers while riding and when you rolling or just riding to a new spot ride left leg down hope this helps! tyler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxrider Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Tuck 'em in. Looks silly but so do bikes with no seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_CRED_ Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 It used to happen to me. Tuck them in is probably the best option.Or get a profile.(Thats thats what i did) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onzaallen Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 It has happened to me a few times, but just tuck you're right trouser leg into you're sock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom-trials Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Yeah happens to me frequently. I jus ride with my leg as far away as i can when i am rolling (well as far as it feels comfortable on the pedal) It is a royal pain in the ass its destroyed my chavidas joggers and some brand new levis jeans i know i shouldnt have been wearing them but i wasnt doing any "proper" riding. And Matt you seem to think profiles are gods gift to trials riders which they kinda are but front freewheels can be just as good like my tensile has more engagements than your profile and probably hasnt skipped as much thers my essay for today Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stetpro Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 my mate got his stuck and his foot went blue so i decided to flag a car down to see if they had any scissors the first car that stopped was a police car and then he phoned a ambulance and then 2 came just to cut a pair of trousers with a pair of scissors. lmao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey B Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 yer i just put a front tensile on my bike yesterday and it kept taking chunk out of the trackies i was wearing. And then on the way home (it was pitch black down an alleyway) it ripped them up 2 the knee and i had to throw them away . Any way moral of the story wear shorts!!!

poopipe Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 to reiterate (and because i like the picture so much it deserves to be posted twice)or learn to ride left foot forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob87 Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 I think i have a pair of these.I've caught my jeans in my chain so many times, most annoying part is that most of the time it gets stuck in the chain-ring as well, so when you try to pedal back you cant and end up smashing your elbow off the ground.Tie pin them, elastic band, tuck them in all perfect ideas. Or you could just by some tighter trousers for riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrBENN Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 ive done that many of times at it realy gets on my nerves thats y ive started wearing like joggers so you can pull the elastic bit at the bottom and then it doesnt get stuck in your freewheel so problem solved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrAd-Tpro Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Yes this hapened to me a little while ago, i had only worn the trousers a few times .. Once the trousers were out they was ripped bad and had a nice oily chain print on them My advise is 3/4 lengths.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Pants™ Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 Don't get any ideas but you could wear emo jeans 'drainpipes' but they people would think you're a fag and you look rediculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
$IL3NT. Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 yep has happened to me and its nasty if u do it bad.Tucking ur trousers in ur socks just looks stupid and the freewheel will still find a way to grip hold ov your leg. its a pain in the ass to get it out when u cant turn the free wheel because the pedal is digging in ur leg when u turn it. happened to me.Very embarracing i was on my park when i did it the worst i had a bike attached to my leg for about 20 minits. the best solution would obviously to wear shorts but its gettin colder up here in Manchester so im wearing pants now, but i have learnt from my mistakes and i ride with 1 trouser leg up as u can see all the way through my video lol : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rids Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 i just tuck the inside part of my jeans into my sock so on the outside it looks normal but dosent get caught up (pic if requested) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
