i ride with gloves for dat extra padding. you'll appreciate it on longer rides! mine also come with a soft section handy for wiping sweat and snot. mmm sexy

so yeah try not to shake my hand with gloves on :toot:

I'm pro glove.

I wear full fingered ones on long rides but lately I've been going naked on my commute. The pair I use have grippy rubber on the finger tips, gives a nice feeling over the smooth levers.

Also has a soft patch for snot. Which has been used lots lately cause of the flying-eye-gouging-cotton-fluff around now.

+1 for the sweat section. Fingerless gloves for me.

Using cycling gloves are for:
1) comfort - usually fingerless until
It gets too cold to wear them
2) protection - when you go down
3) style - to match your kit

I always wear them. Kind of like wearing a helmet

chunk_stir - Serous question but do you race? I get the impression you do and/or you hang out with people who do. You seem to have some fancy toys!

Only been riding around the neighborhood so far. Have SPD pedals on the bike right now without proper shoes and cleats; pretty awkward riding with this set up.

Any recommendations on whether to keep the SPD pedals and get shoes w/ SPD cleats, or go right to the SPD-SL combo? I've never used any kind of clip-in pedals and am just getting into cycling.

Fuck SPD-SL and just some Speedplays. Ask Alphamale! :D

Speedplays are weird as hell to walk in

I'm almost certain that no one here (hopefully) will go to great lengths to cheat themselves when uploading strava rides... But here's a link to ... cheat strava. LOL

Basically upload your tcx file, epo-boost your ride, and claim those KOM's hahahaha

If you're cheating on your Strava times. You're doing it wrong.

bcrdukes 06-04-2013 12:20 PM

haha that reminds me of the time I was riding back home near Trout Lake.

Saw some kid with a pedometer and all he did was do small bunny hops to increase the count on the meter. I'm like WTF You stupid fat fuck :fuckthatshit:

Ya, funny that you should ask. I do race actually....






... my friends to the next signpost!


Seriously, no, never raced. I just have been riding a long time and enjoy riding (and talking about it). Over the years, been able to trade up my gear. I need all the help I can get! ;)

bcrdukes, I got my shipment from Probikekit. Your right the Chamois is a little weird. I picked up the Bib tights, and two of their jerseys. The jersey's are quite fitted, I maybe should have gone for an XL, but I will survive. I'm not sure I'm such a fan of the Jersey material though. Very "Scratchy". I'm hoping this softens up through the wash, or after a couple wears. I'll be keeping the whole shipment.

I got nailed with 20 bucks in duty, did you?
