Instead of all that, I simply use safety pins to pin my pants leg more tightly around my ankle - or ankles, depending on how narrow the pants legs are. Now, I lube my chain using a hot wax/oil mix, so it's much less likely to smear black stuff on my cuffs. I've always got at least two safety pins clipped inside my handlebar bags. Goodness, don' you have a "pants clip" that clips around your ankle to hold your pants secure and prevent it from getting into the chain? I thought all you "old Fellows" had one of those :-)\ As an old fellow, those are what I used way back in the 1970s. They kept irritating me because my pants would gradually work their way out of the clips, then get either caught or stained by the chain and chainring. Then I tried large (2") safety pins. No more problems. And the safety pins are lighter! ;-) Or a turn or two of twine and a bow knot :-) -- cheers, John D.Slocomb |
