return of the flat bar
Originally uploaded by fxdwhl
it's that time of year again
colder temps are settling in
the need insulating layers increase
hands are the subject of today's topic
gloves are good till the mid thirties
colder than that and it's mitten time
you can try using liners with gloves
but snugness means less bloodflow
less bloodflow means cold hands
so give mittens a try
not lobster claw but real live mittens
dexterity be damned i want warmth
outdoor research make nice ones
comfy down to single digits
with room for an extra layer even
and a removeable liner for quick drying
toasty toasty toasty
now back to the bars
this is where the dexterity lose occurs
brake hoods on drops are tough to grip
flared dirt drops would work though
as would moustache bars
or a swoopy curvy city bar would be just fine
i've got an el cheapo flat bar
minimal sweep but pretty grips
mittened hands like it though
works like a charm for the daily ride
