Capricorn Posted December 5, 2013 Share I've generally used different Fox varieties over the years, but recently switched to these: http://www.cwcycles....remedy-ff-glove http://www.cheapmtb.com/images/2010/12/Giro-Remedy-on-a-hand-Top.jpg They fit amazingly well and are really light and thin. Slightly less durable because of this I suspect, but still recommended. bit of a fox fan myself: the heel of the palm padding is really good without being bulky or restrictive in anyway, and the wrist strap is in just the right place that you save your hands if you bail. After having my wrists surgically repair, I cannot harp on enough about finding gloves that offer some protection of the wrist/heel of the palm against abrasion damage.

Flowta Posted December 5, 2013 Share I ride normal afternoon rides with cheap fullfinger gloves like 661 gloves on special at cwc. And have a more race pair for long rides and raceish riding. But I still find the pair I have from tork craft for R70 does the day to day very well Tell me more about the Tork Craft ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camelman Posted December 5, 2013 Share Top of Schaflichspass (Swiss Alps). July 2013. Man alone. 11kg backpack with all my stuff. 1.5hours of carrying my bike on my back at 2500m. Worth every minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazyTrailRider Posted December 6, 2013 Share I cannot harp on enough about finding gloves that offer some protection of the wrist/heel of the palm against abrasion damage. Absolutely agree with you on that. Unfortunately the Giro Remedy is very thin in the palm, which is why it's so comfortable. There's always a trade-off, as with most things...

Guest Omega Man Posted December 6, 2013 Share Fox Bombers.....great protection......Had a pair of those. They take a while to break in but they last forever and the protection is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deviate Posted December 6, 2013 Share What did you replace the rims with? I have SXC2 rims on my Trance and want to upgrade, but I am not sure what to yet. I went el cheapo and got the Mavic En321 32h rims I wanted 521 but only on 26. And 821 not muuuuuch lighter than the 321. And 321's are only R500 each Will only know if the original spokes are usable on Monday If not then more $$ I think buycycle has the sun ringle 650b rims for R450 but they're quite heavy but they are 21mm. My plan is to go thru axle on the rear by middle next year too. So then new hub.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted December 9, 2013 Share I've generally used different Fox varieties over the years, but recently switched to these: http://www.cwcycles....remedy-ff-glove http://www.cheapmtb.com/images/2010/12/Giro-Remedy-on-a-hand-Top.jpg They fit amazingly well and are really light and thin. Slightly less durable because of this I suspect, but still recommended. Bought a pair when they first came out and they are still going strong. Not even a hint of a stitch or seam working itself out. And they have done a trail build or two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbelBuys Posted December 10, 2013 Share I pulled the trigger on this beauty as I couldn't resist. The bike is practically brand new! Not a great pic, but I just had to assemble her last night & take a pic & show off. Will post a proper pic when she's in her natural habitat. Some minor changes will be done. Dropper post is the first to go. RockShox Reverb: 355mm x 100mm30.9mm PM me if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
