Liking that Magic Mary...
Hmmm organic cotton. Plus WTAF with the thumb thing.
Plus WTAF with the thumb thing.
As a fellow cold thumbist I'm interested and I'll be waiting for the test results.
The write up for that Orange was also the last time the phrase 'the angles remain the same' was used on a mountain bike website.

I won't be waiting! I'm ordering now! I made my own out of an old pair of gloves, but they get stuck in the glove's thumb hole and I have to fish them out. These look to be the answer 🙂
Also, how can those headphone be "noise cancelling" when (as Hannah's photo) they don't actually go in your earole? Or are there 2 ways to wear them?
@desperatebicycle there are two angles for wearing them, one goes more over your ear holes. Plus there are some ear plug type thingies as well. But I’ve not deployed them, only modelled them!
whats that thing on the rear wheel?? can you use it to slice vegetables? or is it some kind of optical rotary encoder? or maybe both!
On the Amflow? It’s for the speed sensor.
O'keeffes is amazing stuff. Also works on your knee's if you're a perennial shorts wearer, like myself and get rough knees.
On a similiar note is there such a thing as an, um, toe wrap? A half-foot-sock? For when you don't really want a bulky full sock and you've got a little space in the toebox for more, and you get cold toes?
Aside from the apparent deftness of the thumb thing - any source to recommend for those interested that isn’t those ****s at Amazon?
Some interesting products, more importantly Loveless is a record that’s been a constant companion for 30+ years!

The same seller who seels through Amazon (did you know you can buy from a large number of small businesses through Amazon??) also sells them on ebay.
I decided not to spend £20 on something that might not be any better than I already have in the end. but there are quite a few cheaper option, ie. gaming gloves, on ebay
Yes - I know small businesses sell though Amazon to extend their reach and pay Amazon a commission - I don't want to pay Amazon anything that's avoidable.
It would be better if the eBay shop was linked, or better still the retailer’s own site. Amazon don’t need nor deserve any promotion, but the little guy does - that's kinda my point.
Thanks for your reply though.
Well, you could browse the amazon link supplied by Singletrack and then find the item on ebay and then google the seller name, but if that’s too difficult
KIDSFINGERSANDTHUMBS.CO.UK 🙂
I understand that. Or they could post a more direct link to the business itself which would seem preferable and more beneficial to the supplier.
