Fixed Pants™ Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 DEH!!1! Lillywhites, £3.79 or something for a golf glove, get two (one for each hand you donut), last for ever, are really comfortable and are nice and grippy.

ride_whenever Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 As soon as the skin starts to lift and rub, but before you have blisters you should tape your hands loosely with Zinc Oxide tape, from the chemist, this is really smooth and stops them blistering so your callouses develop as fast as possible. Once you have them the only way to do it is to pop them with the smallest pin you can find, sterilised in a flame and then cooled in ice, and then open them enough to super glue the skin down and tape as above, however try to leave your hands as untaped as much as possible so they can breathe or they end up smelling minging! Once you have callouses then you're cooking on gas because you should be able to ride as much as you want and not get blisters, but if you do tape them as above so that you don;t loose the thickened skin. You may want to try a firmer grip, it sounds counter-intuitive but it'll rub your skin less because you'll slide round rather than having your skin move. Also try fatter or thiner grips, if they don't suit your hand size then they will rub more and feel less comfy and give you less control.

ride_whenever Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I personally never ride with gloves but using them for other things i'd suggest a silk liner so the gloves move relative to the liner rather than your skin, but i'm not sure on how much grip you'd get. Anyone tried it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
