Phatmike Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Hey chaps.With the cold weather approaching I thought I'd remind you all about the benefits of using condoms this winter.They come in many different colours - I use grey ones, but they come in green, pink, and many others. The rubber is around 1mm thick, 8cm long, and has a diameter of just under 1cm - Ideal for me. They're available from Supercycles, for £3 posted for two.Confused? Lever condoms is what I'm on about, they're great - stop you feeling the -10 degrees of your brake levers, and makes it nice and comfy, as well as being grippier. I've just put mine on, and just one will do both levers (although obviously the rounded end will just be on one), so you can even go halves with someone.I used them about 3 years ago, and they were great, so looking forward to riding with my new ones!

Phatmike Posted November 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Now that i've got the FP leaver, i've had no slippages. Nor have I with any of my levers, just you wait 'till you can't feel your levertips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 I like my heatshrinked virsions better thinner, moulds to the shape of the lever and the end rounds off too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Cycles Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 I think the pink ones are the grippiest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash-Kennard Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 (edited) hahai was using a rubber thimble up the wood the other night in the rain, same concept, except the thimble was on my braking finger instead, although it got sweaty insidehttp://www.euroffice.co.uk/euro_img/full/11210X.jpg Edited November 24, 2006 by ash-kennard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 I just used insulation tape, works fine for keeping your fingers warm[attachmentid=8345]but I suppose those condoms will be grippy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe b Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 Haha, quite a cool idea. I'd never buy them as i'd much rather, like Ben said, wear gloves . 99p from the Mansfield Camping Shop; oh, you don't all live in Mansfield, do you .Cheers,Joe.

I'd rather have gloves too.If your so concerned about your finger tip getting cold you'll be needing gloves anyway because you obviously can't deal with the cold... something the rest of your hands are definately going to be.
