Greetings Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 I've never had a problem with this but recently my palms are getting sweaty while riding and I can't grip the bars properly. Running Trialtech Foam grips, don't use gloves and never will. Are there any other options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted July 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Climbing chalk? Wanted to ask about that but forgot the name Does it just dry your hands or does it actually keep them dry for longer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 It seems to work pretty well in terms of keeping your hands dry for a while, rather than just immediately wicking away any moisture. Ali uses some liquid chalk stuff that happens to have the bonus of looking really cool as it spreads itself onto your hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike_dummie Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) Amazing stuff for any heavy lifts that requires a lot of grip so maybe good riding? http://m.myprotein.com/sports-nutrition/myprotein-liquid-chalk/10529941.html?utm_source=googleprod&utm_medium=gp&utm_campaign=gp_sports&affil=thggps&switchcurrency=GBP&shippingcountry=GB&gclid=CjwKEAjwq-OsBRDd95aryprR9wQSJACQnU3GGrueZqOXQV1lY2Y5XnYOikoRrWRL5Kd4KhrtcrAj5BoC9GTw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CL--y6bfxMYCFdBgfAodID4LwA&variation=10529942 Edited July 5, 2015 by bike_dummie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 yep, liquid chalk is awesome! Does mean carrying a bag though. If I don't have chalk and it's dry out (usually is if I'm getting sweaty hands) then I'll just find some dust and rub my hands in that instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.KYDD Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 +1 for liquid chalk. This is the stuff I use http://www.newitts.com/product/IT052197/Liquid_Chalk.htm?gclid=CMaurZ6o0MYCFQgGwwod-dcCXQ I hate gloves and always tear foam grips to bits. Trialtech foams are better quality but are too fat for me so I use rubber grips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
