and you think a wee bit of padding on your gloves will prevent this? how?GW- I broke 3 knuckles 2 fingers and plenty of bones in my hand in a stupid OTB crash, I always use knuckle protector gloves.

It really hurts if I knock my hand now on trees / wotnot. I'd wear a medeivel gaultlet if I could.

On a slight tanget..
Have a 'look' at the recent safety glasses, you'll be surprised at how cool they are and, for £7 - £9 a pair they're spot-on for winter mud fests.

When i was in Les Arcs a few years ago, one of the guides highly recommended some gloves like those. Said the extra padding worked a treat on the all day judder of riding out there.

If only I'd have known before I went, my hands got shot to pieces, though my chunky Oury grips were mostly to blame.
I've got one of these places just down the road from work, might go take a look.

If you go and they're any good, I'd be more than happy to take a punt and pick up postage costs..... not too garish / XL

If anyone is thinking of getting in a job lot I'll have a pair if thunder xc and a pair of handyman both medium please. £25 delivered??
Posted 7 months ago # -
Had a quick blast round my local trail today and can now say that the handyman is just superb.
Don,t think i,ll be buying fancy branded gloves ever again.
You really are paying for the name.
Made up i found these.
Posted 7 months ago # -
I can confirm that these are quite good. They sell them in Home Depot (like B&Q) over here in Canada, I've had a pair for a year or so. Seem much more durable than most of the bike gloves that last about 5 minutes. There isn't much padding on the palm, and mine have some stitching across the heel of the hand that rubs a bit riding on the hoods of my commuter bike, but is ok on the mountain bike.

look good!

i have used these and while they seem fit for purpose at first, they seemed quite warm and sweaty.
plus the finger ends were thick, which i felt reduced feel for me.
good value though and i can see why that is important!

Was just in the Huws Gray in Heswall and very nearly bought a pair they've got the black full finger with a beanie hat for £12 or same but with open ended thumb and forefinger for £11. Both seemed really good, quite wide and fingers aren't too long which suits me but my fox's are pretty new so would have got shouted at by swimbo.
Good spot!

hmm. there's one of those Huws Gray places not far from here. Will have to investigate.

Nice one the Huws Gray in Heswall is only 2 miles from me.
I am quite hard on gloves so the overpriced MTB ones really annoy me when they start to fall apart after a dozen rides (Mace being the worst so far)Posted 7 months ago # -

not so sure about this ripped my giro dj's on the third ride and first crash, soggy newspaper would be better

Look good to me, might give a pair a try, came off the commuter on ice last winter and tore the palm out of my old gloves.
Gw - do you read your own posts? I,ve seen several threads now where you basically come across as pretty rude. Just an observation, might want to think about how you come across to others
Posted 7 months ago # -
Do you read yours? I've only really noticed the one but found it a little dull and whiney, just an observation, might want to think about how you come across to others

DT78, its not just me then regarding the attitude of GW?
Posted 7 months ago # -
s'funny I was just reading this thinking what a tool GW comew across as. Seriously, having a go at people about their racist beliefs/bad attitude or whatever is fair enough but lambasting someone about their knuckle protection
Posted 7 months ago # -
Yea shame there is,nt a mute or block function on the site really. Then Gw could block me for being whinny and dull, and I could block him for being a bit of a tool...
Some forums let you hide low rated comments. Quite like that idea.

@DT78 etc
You do realise GW is just a bot? Not actually a human, just a bit of cranky software.

There is one available - if you're running Chrome.
Yea shame there is,nt a mute or block function on the site really.I reckon GW is just davidtaylforth on a bad day - i.e. one when he's not funny.

While we're on the subject of stuff you can find in a builders merchant.
I find 3M Virtua safety glasses ideal for eye wear, they do clear and blue mirror tinted.
The only cheap glasses I've ever found that are fairly scratch resistant and I'm not pushing up my nose all the time, and have great side visibility and actually look OK!Posted 7 months ago # -
Bedmaker - Where did I lambaste anyone?
if Scruff (or anyone else) chooses to wear gloves with knuckle protection it's entirely his choice to make but the fact remains knuckle protection won't actually stop you breaking knuckles/fingers and is awkward and restrictive to ride in.to any of you I may have upset. - If my brutal honesty regarding the complete shite you've typed about subjects/products you have little to no experience of is really too much for you to cope with then by all means block/ignore my posts but surely it would be far better for all of us if you just stopped spouting pish in the first place?
Posted 7 months ago # -
It has definitely been noted on more than one occasion that GW is the ultimate keyboard warrior and probably drinks pish for breakfast just to keep him so surly and sour...
