JT! Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 I think it's just you being weird, wouldn't that make it worse? It's sweat that makes me loose my grip, but you just whipe your hand on your trousers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littleharrys Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Strange, I know what you mean about sun tan. I find my hands get sweaty and slip off the grips so thats why i wear gloves and after a full days riding i get blisters. Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMonkey Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Yeah but a spade is wood, that's why you can spit on your hands for that. Whereas a brake lever is metal, or some gay plastic or something. So I dunno how it'd give you more grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Goalkeepers spit on their gloves don't they. I guess it makes sense. Never had a problem with gripping brake levers myself though (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Yeah, but their gloves aren't metal... And neither is a football... Not last time I checked anyhow (Y) That didnt make much sense... But anyway, I don't do it, but I kinda see how it *might* help if your hands were really really dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomass666 Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Don't people spit on their hands when digging to stop pain and blisters? Which means the spit is used to lessen friction which means it's a lube so no it won't help grip. I think. :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
