Pants getting snagged on cranks
So, I was outside practising my rolling hops, and once i started going really fast my pant leg got stuck on my crank (i think) and I slammed into the ground hurting my knee badly..  This has been happening quite a bit but its never been too bad because i havent been riding fast. Does this happen to anyone else? Is there any way people know of to temporarily fix up my jeans to not do that?  I wear jeans alot and i dont wanna stop  -- NKahler ______________________________ Check out some of my stuff!  http://nkahler.deviantart.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NKahler's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15277 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63688 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Take rubber bands or duct tape and wrap them around your ankles so the bottom of your pants are closed. -- dunawan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dunawan's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13582 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63688 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Pants getting snagged on cranks
Your local bike shop will have velcro straps that are designed to keep your pants (trouser) legs out of the chain while bicycling. They'll also keep your pants from getting snagged on unicycle cranks. Another style is the 'metal clip' (http://tinyurl.com/ywehmx). A more old-school style than the newfangled reflective velcro strap style. I like the metal clip style better but they're harder to find at least in the US. -- john_childs john_childs (att) hotmail (dott) com Team Never Wash Your Muni Gallery: http://gallery.unicyclist.com/john_childs 'Unicycling Bookmark List' (http://backcountry.unicyclist.com/) :: 'World Clock' (http://tinyurl.com/2blym3) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ john_childs's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/449 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63688 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

So I tossed 'em.

Or, when cycling, you could wear cycling clothes. They will be more comfortable, less sweaty, and safer. -- Mikefule I once had a bad experience with a bigot.

Pants getting snagged on cranks
Get some silicone, and fill up the cap in the pinchbolt. I have been meaning to do this for a long time, but now that I have denubbed my cranks, it's not half as bad as it was. -- Borgschulze http://borgschulze.deviantart.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Borgschulze's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13501 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/63688 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Easily fixed dude... dont wear pants! I used to wear jeans but found shorts are WAY more comfortable - give it a try and you wont go back to pants.
