Re: Two wheels are better* than four
Fixed, I remembered I had some contact adhesive for shoes. I stick to it like shit to a blanket now. A LOT of gravel about now thanks to the heavy rain, back wheel wobbled in a few corners!

Re: Two wheels are better* than four
Seems to be a fairly common complaint, either seats or trousers being too slippy. One idea I saw is to try 'Glove glu' as used by goalies. I've sanded the pants of my trousers and cleaned the seat with meths, I'll go for a ride later and report back.

Re: What did you do today?
I'm looking at a house later today, fingers crossed it is suitable for me. Then I can get all my stuff in there and have a spare garage again....

The street triple is comfy and fairly upright, OK for an oldish fart.

Re: Two wheels are better* than four
What bikes do folks on here currently use? I'm thinking I'll get a Triumph Street Triple when I've passed my test.

Re: Two wheels are better* than four
I've not known any textiles that don't slide about, seems to depend on the sear cover as far as I can tell. Some are a lot worse combinations than others though. This is like its been given a spray with Mr Sheen, maybe a wash will sort em out. No, I think I'll rub over the arse of em with a bit of ...

Re: Two wheels are better* than four
Same as I would in a car, it is mega slippery material though, the old pair were less so. I think you get to be real picky after a little while biking.DodgeRover wrote: ↑Thu Mar 30, 2023 10:15 pm The number of bikes I used to see in Aus with a sheep skin on the seat would surprise you.

Re: Two wheels are better* than four
Sheepskin seat cover? Or a gel pad seat cover maybe? Ha! Or one of those wooden ball jobs for the Turkish cabbie look! I'd rather not tinker with the bike, just wants summat to make the seat of the trousers less slidy. Maybe a dust with a bit of chalk like weightlifters use! This afternoon I was sq...
