brake lever grip thingys
« on: September 10, 2009, 07:08 PM »
Been trying to learn tricks that use alot of front brake on/off/on/off etc etc.

Not very good at them yet so doing endless repetitions.

Fingers are getting sore, there gonna blister soon :(

So, was wondering about those lever grip things, anyone actually ridden with them? Will they make things better or worse?

Dont really want to ride with gloves.

Any other ideas for finger protection?

I used them when I was a kid. stopped my fingers sticking to the levers on cold days!

they definitely helped on the comfort front as well :daumenhoch:

Sharp ones have a closed end whereas the ODI Brakenecks and later Lizard Skinz ones have open ends  :daumenhoch:


Better to crash and burn than fade away
