Looking for good racing bike gloves
I have some gloves, mainly for mountain biking. However, these don't help
racing biking as much, as I tend to sit on the brake hoods longer on my racing bike. Can anyone recommend a good pair of gloves for those times I ride my racing bike? Thanks! -- Bob in CT Remove ".x" to reply |

TeoSport. The glove's padded section has spaces so when you close your hand
around the bar the sections join but do not bunch up. Bruce |

About the only pair of normal, 1/2 finger cycling gloves I've found that I like are the new generation Specialized Body Geometry gloves. The padding used to be too thick, but they thinned it out this year, and now I love them. Regards, H. |

I have several varieties of gloves, but they seem to be better for for mountain biking. -- Bob in CT Remove ".x" to reply |

Actually, until I found those Specialized gloves a couple of months ago, I usually wore my full finger MTB gloves while on my road bike. Yes indeed, it looked goofy, and they made my hands sweat in the summer, but at least my hands (especially my thumb!) didn't hurt. Regards, H. |

I've actually thought about doing that, as I have some nice gloves for mountain biking (I even have the kind for twist-shifters, where the thumb and one finger are completely covered but the other three fingers are only half covered -- hmmm; maybe I should try these?). The worst set I have has padding only near the outside of the hands. These are terrible for my racing bike, although they're not bad for the mountain bike. -- Bob in CT Remove ".x" to reply |
