SAFETY BRIEFING.

  • Wear a helmet. Despite recent advances in medical science, brains still cannot be mended nor replaced.
  • Wear gloves or mitts. Hands often hit the ground first. Cuts and grazes invite infection and a hospital visit.
  • Wear eye protection, it only takes a twig or thorn to lose an eye. Crud catchers are a good idea in mucky weather.
  • When downhilling, for your own protection, allow plenty of space behind the rider in front.
  • Bring a bare minimum emergency tool kit and a spare inner tube.
  • Breakdowns are a bore. Plan not to have any by ensuring your bike is in perfect working order.
  • Punctures are also tedious. You can minimise them by fitting latex tubes, slime tubes or running tubeless tyres.

FS: New Castelli Estremo Gloves, Large

New Castelli Estremo Gloves, Large, £45

I was sent these over from the USA for Christmas- they finally arrived last week. Alas, too small.
They seem uber nice, windproof, water resistant, insulated.
Only £45! (They retail for £55-65 online)

If interested, I'd take a look at the sizing chart, and then go a size up. For reference, my hand measures 22cm around, but the larges are about 5mm too short in the fingers.
