GiVi keeping your hands warm... - Guinness - 17-11-2006 Its getting rather cold and since i want to delay rheumatysm for as long as possible i decided to get the thing that really keeps the cold wind from my hands. looks bulky, but they work and can be setup or removed in about 2 minutes. http://img126.imageshack.us/img126/3995/dscn0026xd2.jpg easy to setup coz of big zipper at the bottom. takes about 2 minutes. <!--coloro:#990000--><!--/coloro--><b>make sure you take the version "for bikes with mirrors"</b><!--colorc--> <!--/colorc--> no screws or altering the bike just some straps to click. there is some innerlining. the levers dont touch the outerrim and dont get pressed coz ther is plenty of room. there's an elastic band at the sleeve so it fits tightly around you arm. it works for me. just bare in mind that it will take 2-3seconds to get yer hand in and grab the brakes.

GiVi keeping your hands warm... - Guinness - 24-11-2006 funny... real funnayh... granted, it doesnt look "cool"... lol... true.. it DOES look like someones track suit bottoms .... waahhahaha yer hands arents "strapped in" you can just pull them out like you would just remove yer hand from teh leaver like ya normally do. getting yer hands back on the leavers takes 2 maybe 3 seconds GiVi keeping your hands warm... - Lerk - 25-11-2006 I use something similar, although they have open ends so getting your hands in isn't a problem... What i did have trouble with was at high speed they were pushed back into the levers, no such problem now though as i have handguards!!! Cheers LERK GiVi keeping your hands warm... - Guinness - 28-11-2006 regarding speed these start pushing at about 140kmh...
