1337 Trials Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Maybe thicker gloves or try wearing wooly gloves under your biking gloves, hehe. I did this once and its so padded ~Matty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Jones Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Is it a general problem or just when on your bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxTrialSpaz Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 I get it quite abit as well, and the only solution is to grit your teeth and get on with it. I know it is really quite sore/annoying but the only thing to do is to try and keep riding so you 'forget' they're that cold. Or you could just bugger off home.

MattB Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Lol I get really cold hands and I can't pull the brake lever in which results in me flat on my arse. Seriously considering buying a set of gloves for the cold weather.Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spmcfadden Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Just rub you hands together to warm them up, or put them in your armpits! If you don’t warm them up properly you might hurt yourself if you can’t move them as quickly/freely. You’re more likely to injure cold muscles than warmed up muscles too.

Lee Cable Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Tape around the lever's? Stops them getting cold, Take it off when it starts to get warmer though, as it'll make your levers go gash sticky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
