Rubbing holes in knicks.....?
Posted: Fri Jan 18, 2013 5:58 pm
Hi Ladies
I am a new roadie and am loving my bike, it is my new passion!
However, I have noticed that I have rubbed a hole in a perfectly good pair of SKINS bib knicks (not cheap to replace either, so not happy -
The hole has appeared where the chamois padding ends on the inner thigh. It is a rubbing mark, which has just worn thin and now there is a small hole. I think my thigh might be rubbing on the saddle rail and/or the saddle bag (I have now taken the saddle bag off). Has anyone else experienced the same thing?
It is also a bit odd that it is mainly my left leg, there is slight rubbing on the right, but nothing compared to the left. Maybe I sit crooked? I am not really a heavy set person, being about 70kgs and 179cm tall, so I would not say I have overly large thighs! (except of course for the bulging muscles! lol)
Does anyone have any tips on how to repair the hole in the lycra? Has anyone previously done any patch up jobs?
I can't bear to throw them out, they are perfectly good (except for the rubbing marks and small hole) and are only about 5 months old.
Any advice would be appreciated!
Cheers
