Hot grips users' question

[Blackshear]

Maybe all you bastards are wearing winter gloves.
My oxfords at 100% RED ZONE ACTIVATE give me the tingly hots after 5 minutes.
Sad, given that the topside receives frostbite.

Im lookin at getting some hot grips. if you have the original ones do you use the maximun setting much?

I never use the top setting - one click below to warm up and then 50%. Or leave on 75% if it's tits-off weather.

I hear ya on that one! Fingernails turn to ice.

Not doing their advertising but I think WMC may be selling Oxfords cheap at $79??? get hold of crasherfromwayback.

Spokes have a look on our other (NSWbandit) forum as there's some great information on there. Just fitted a new set of Oxfords to mine. The push button type not rotary dial. lowest setting is the bees knees.

If its your wrists you may also want to try taping them, or those stick on heat pads (last for ages)

My local silverstream pharmacy has the latter ones. About $25 for a pack of 12

Its not my wrists that hurt but my hands. i know its my wrists that are the problem.

Yes im on that site already but am more intrested in the differences in the oxford grips.

All I can tell so far is that the standard ones go up to 50 degree and the light ones go up to 45 degree and are half the price.

Mine have 4 temps ... I think I might have used the second highest once. Never used top heat.

So is heat the answer or comfort?

It helps. Need surgery to fix but that will be a long way off.

Grips with thin gloves then so heat gets through and still have good feel on the bars rather than thick gloves which you might sweat in.

I prefer thin gloves anyway. My winter gloves are thin for winter ones. To thick is hard to hold.

Just went out and worked out I will run the relay at the back under the seat. Will be tidier and easy to work on if needed.


Love bikes that have room to work on..

Earlier this week I lost feeling in my pinkies. And that was just on a 15 minute commute at 7AM.

Bought a pair today for Boots' Hornet. She's down to Hamilton once a month and she's been known to be close to frostbite riding back to Aucks after dark.

Are you going to fit them? Be on for Sunday?

But yes very fair call. Yes this week has been the coldest ive ridden in. Ive got a new textle jacket coming as my leather one is to cold for the Sass rides etc.

Im really thinking of the Light version now. Read to much trouble with the original ones controlers.

So which relay will be best?

Nah, I've got to work tomorrow. Looks like she won't be coming anyway. Too much work, too little time...

I've told her that once I get them on I'm taking the Hornet for a spin to try them out. Maybe I'll get a pair for Maha's cold ride in August.

Thats a shame, but work comes first. Im looking forward to a non L plater ride. Looks like just you and me at this stage. Maggies working.
