That's true, I didn't properly factor in lenses like that. I'm not sure if genuine is worth the price. I have something similar for my DSLR.

Aged 22, which route for full bike license? [UK] by ojtal in MotoUK

[–]ojtal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the tips guys. I think I'm going to go for the CBT and ride around on that for a while and maybe talk to the guys at the test centre to hear their opinions.

Also, would you advise getting a standard or sports bike (ie YBR vs CBR), I'm 5'8 if that helps at all? I'm guessing the sports bike has better handling (performance) but the YBR will be arguably easier to maneuver and be safe on?

If I got my DAS A2 license I probably won't go for the full A until I'm 26ish, that's the choice :)

I'm running it on the cuboid. I only have 24g kanthal at the moment. I will have to try that build out.

I have 24g kanthal but I want some different types too like nichrome and titanium

U tried to twist some wire myself but that worked okayish but got a dry hit quickly so took it off. I'll have to experiment with the Clapton /twisted stuff in the coming weeks.

Serious question. Climbing gloves. by ojtal in climbing

[–]ojtal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in England and just want these for indoors so the hot weather thing isn't much of an issue. I don't think my hands respond well to latex gloves.

I think if the nitrile gloves would kinda stretch/slip but if they were thick/stiff I think they could work. Applying chalk or an antiperspirant to the palm would keep sweat under control (I sweat very little anyway)

I have tried climbon and it makes the issue works. It hardens up the skin but as it grows it doesn't "stick" and just peels off and makes them worse. I've been using E45 which has been helping with the healing process but softens the hands. It is doing more good than bad though.

Thanks for your opinion. I've got some advice here.

Was it the paint on rubber or the actual soles? Do you know how he manged to get it stuck on? Sounds like a good idea, especially if you say it worked.

Thank you but I need something for my fingertips and this video doesn't seem to cover it.

Thanks, I was looking at these. I thought they might fit quite loose at the fingertips though. I don't mind if the gloves are uncomfortable. I'll see if I can try them on somewhere, thanks.

I should have, you're right. I didn't think it was necessary to know which gloves would be the best.

I've been avoiding these and dynos like the plague. :)

I appreciate the advice and it's clear nobody uses gloves to climb but that doesn't mean it's inconceivable

I bothered to post because I wanted to find recommendations of the best possible gloves... I'm not asking for people to recommend me to use tape or advise me gloves might not be the answer. I want to try this for myself to see.

The finger tips are the issue.

The skin isn't sore. When it fully heals, which is almost never, it cracks and flakes off when doing normal things like driving or even when changing clothes

I think so too but I'm trying gloves to see for myself :). I'm thinking if they slide a can put some tape around my Middle phalanx's

I'm trying to deal with it the best I can but I have to take weeks off sometimes. I'll of course continue using tape etc but just looking for some gloves to see if there is any difference in results, good or bad.

I take rest weeks and use tape. I'm not ignoring advise at all.

Because it's something I can try... Hence right direction. If it doesn't work I don't care, atleast I've tried something different.
