Mountain Biking

[kefkef]

I’ve got MT500 gloves for summer riding they’re really good, got some Castelli road bike gloves for winter riding to keep the fingers toasty and dry.

I generally cycle in fingerless gloves, which have some padding/thickness under the palm. No idea the make, possibly from Decathlon, or a CRC sale.

If it's too cold for fingerless, I use Pow Shocker gloves, as (despite being over 40) I'm just a big kid and laugh at the design. I also occasionally teach snowboarding and wear these gloves (equally, so the child in me can laugh - and, erm, the pink areas are nice and visible), so I tend to use old/tired ones biking that are starting to let the snow in. They're not waterproof, but I'm used to cold hands. Tbh, I probably should get some decent waterproof gloves (and socks) - Sealskinz are meant to be good, but not the cheapest.

I bought a pair of mechanix M-pact gloves off ebay for about £12. Cracking gloves imo.

I use standard mechanix gloves, mostly as a mate gave me a bunch for free, but I must rip gloves on every 4th ride or so. So paying £30 for gloves that'll barely last 6 months is devastating.

I'm 99% sure I have some gloves (padded) that I need to dig out of the draw at home, anyway I have ordered the 150mm Brand-x Ascend II and the Giro Fixure MIPS helmet, sent the sixsixone full face back as it looked too OTT for me, plus my sons would disown me for wearing it

Its slightly on the large side for me, not had a good go on it as I’ve been so busy with work, home life, hoping to get out this weekend

picked up my new machine yesterday, a Transition Patrol 2017. Can't wait to hit the trails

Can't find it anywhere (unless I'm blind) but does the Voodoo Bizango have stealth holes for a dropper? Sure I saw a rubber plug at the read of the seat stem (I'm at work but just out of interest if anyone knew)
