AndrewG Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) bashring isn´t help you because bashrings on trial bikes are small I´ve got same problem BTW... Edited January 17, 2011 by AndrewG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewEH1 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 A real easy fix for this is to carry an elastic band and put it around your right ankle and this should stop your trousers getting caught (or tuck your trousers into your sock, although that might make you look stupid).

Revolver Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Jogging pants with an elastic bottom will make you look less stupid but should keep out of your chain. Are you using a bashplate then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echotrials20" Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Wear some slim fit jeans. You will have no probs. Not skinneys, slim fit little less baggy but help lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch-119 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 (edited) Expensive fix, but new shoes? I wear mid/hi-tops, and so far never happened to me, used to all the time with normal shoes. I think the thicker bit around the ankle tightens the trousers around it. And the mid/hi-tops are awesome for ankle support; well the one's I use are. Edited January 17, 2011 by T-Proboy13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-bonham@hotmail.com Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 tuck offending trouser into sock. job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiuSliS Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Yeah, I'd say that pants are the problem not your bike. You should think what to wear before you go riding. Couple of times had that same problem, now it never happens to me i because i wear something that isn't so baggy and doesn't get caught in FW. Good luck.

Echotrials20" Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 It's the clothes that's your problem though lad, bash ring would help a bit But if you wearing baggy clothes still they can find there way to that chain. Either tuck it in, or wear some tighter clothes, or man up and wear some shorts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either tuck it in, or wear some tighter clothes, or man up and wear some shorts yes i understand that but what i mean is, is there any other products out there that can help stop it that i could buy as i am not the only one with this problem so surely there should be a means of buying a solution that stays on the bike. as i ride my bike what ever the weather snow rain sun or wind so i make sure i am warm but as i have said i have broke my collar bone so as soon as ican ride again i will be doing but want to make my bike as sound as possible so i have no worries. can you buy a chain gaurd because every other type of bike you can buy one for. dont get me wrong i love trials but it doesnt seem the manufacturers actually ride themselves or seem to solve general issues i used to ride a lot of park bmx and have had about 6 different bmx's with very small to large chain wheels and never had this problem surely there is a solution other than wear shorts or "trackies". as i want to be able to ride in what i find comfortable and i dont like "trackies" or slim fit jeans i like to wear baggy clothing especially pant wise as i dont like pants that stick to your leg hence why i ride wearing baggy clothing as i have throughout park and dirt jumping and never had any problems. seems like only trials bikers have this problem that you can't solve via a safety measure for your bike. clearly the makers care more about lightness and looks than safety. sorry for going on... i am just looking for a solution i can put on my bike so i do not have this problem for when i am able to ride again doesnt have to be a cheap one just one that works..... please help no suggestions like changed your pants or trainers i dont want as i also ride to work. where i have to wear pants or jeans which will just get caught. starting to feel like the manufacturers dont actually want people to ride trials when the have basic problems that cant be solved with a product Edited January 18, 2011 by azz-d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdm 11 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 All I do when I'm riding is just put a elastic band round my trousers or tuck them into my high tops. And having a bashgaurd doesn't stop your trousers getting caught cause I had one on my Dmr and I still got tangled up in the chain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
