Calling Penny...

Got a little problem I hope you can help me with. I've got a nice pair of
Pearl Izumi bib shorts that I absolutely love. End of last season I was on a
ride and crashed, tearing a small (1/4") V shaped hole in them, right on the
rear. Not a problem for solo rides, but no one will ride a paceline with me
anymore...

Anyway, any expert tips on fixing lycra?

Thanks.

Josh

I have a tube of superglue that I've used to mend holes
in lycra.

Get an good old patch of your choice (He-Man, Spiderman, Batman, Turtles
etc etc) and sew that bad boy on there.

You mean, like this one?

I used a piece of lycra (same colour), from an old pair of swimming trunks
that I'd kept by for just such an occassion. Then used a sowing machine to
sow patch on with a 'springy' stitch to allow movement and prevent pulling.
Works great and several folks have said they thought it was a pocket,
despite the fact it's slap bang in the middle of my right butt cheek!!

Well, if you can go back in time to the 1972 Reading Rock Festival (the one
where Focus made their debut in the UK) you might just find one left, but they
were pretty popular at the time. ;-)

Tell me about it....
I had an original Smiley in the 60's on my jeans. Got it from the caravan
site shop at Dyffryn Ardudwy s? where we had a static caravan. We went 3
times a year to listen to the rain on the caravan roof. Even upto today, it
ain't a proper holiday unless I've heard rain on a caravan roof. ;-)
