Phil H Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 All about the gloves! Then you dont necersarrily need to buy decent grips. However you do need to buy the gloves in the first place.Look cooler in gloves - fact.Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0llie Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 i find i loose feel of my bike when im wearing gloves, may sound apthetic but when if i am wearing them and i take them off i seem to do bigger stuff, might just be in my head though, but i dont wear gloves!

modman Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Yeah, gloves for the win in my opinion, cant ride without them really unless its summer then i try and ride without then because i hate the tan line you get hahaha!!! And the fact that my hands get well sweaty and loose grip on the bars, should invest foamies for the summer..... Wise choice??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onza Kieron Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 I wear them just to prevent the old, take all skin of my hands when I fall off.. Its a much better idea then no gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsy Ben Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 I find without gloves my bike feels alot more controlable and my brakes feel really nice, doesn't get too cold over here either so its a general NO to gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mods Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 i have never worn gloves, but i tihink i am going to start. I know they are not expensive but do you think grips last longer if you wear gloves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy d Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Don't like wearing gloves. When it's really cold I do, but otherwise no gloves and foam grips to stop the slippy sweat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_P Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 I've alwaysssss worn gloves!!Couldn't ride without them before, but then I lost my gloves in town, tried to buy some more off the net for cheap (fox ones for £13 off stiff) but all the ones i wanted had sold out so forgot about it. Haven't bothered since and it's been fine so far with foam grips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 i refuse to ride without them, if i forget them for a ride i will hapily spend £25 on a new pair just to ride that day. and have you noticed that in all the bails when the guy lets go of the bars and falls off the back (usualy in drop-gaps), they arnt wearing gloves. sweat is slippery, hands slip off bars, OUCH! look at travis's vid on the adamant when hes gapping over a flower-bed. ooo la la, no thanks.

Ghetto Rider Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 I used to ride without gloves all the time.untill i started getting calaysis, blood blisters, dirty old man hands and loads of little nicks and cuts - Now I wouldn't go out without my gloves, so nice to ride with....Also Chain Reaction have a sale on gloves at the moment!! - woohoo!!Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 do they!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks for that, i need some new ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A!! Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Gloves, who needs 'em. I use to wear them all the time, but since last winter i just haven't. It hurts at first while your hands harden up, but after that it's all good. Plus there is less to lose when i'm out on my bike, and i prefer the feel without gloves. Builders hands ***!
