I have tried these but can't recommend them due to the hole in the palm making them uncomfortable.

Re: Lobster shell gloves
I was looking at these a while ago and found there are a few motorbike options, although I never got round to buying some.
I searched "waterproof over gloves"

Re: Which quality chainring bolts and threadlock?
A warning: I used some medium strength threadlock on some chainring bolts (I had the medium strength stuff to hand). When I tried to take them off I discovered that the thread on the bolts is wide - with a large surface area and lots of leverage - and the hex key slot in the middle is small with mu...

Re: Which quality chainring bolts and threadlock?
I always use stronglight ones and have found them to be excellent quality and never had them come loose. Never used threadlock on them. I grease mine to avoid any creaks. I've found they don't come undone as long as I tighten them up to start with :wink: Were the ones you had an issue with alloy? I...

Re: hard-core JOGLE attempt
Gotta say, skateboarding LEGOG for a mental health charity does seem very apt. For anyone who's never skated, I can tell you it's hard work. :-bd Some Kryptonic reds with wide trucks and he'll be fine ;-) He just set off, with some massive red wheels fitted: https://www.instagram.com/p/CUPoUcfIZpN/...

Which quality chainring bolts and threadlock?
After a near disaster today (one lost and 3 loose chainring bolts, nudity!) I'm looking for quality chainring bolts and which threadlock to use with them?
Ideally I'd like Allen key fitting on both the bolt and nut, I find the slotted type of nut to be annoying.
Thanks.
