@chudwave @GabeLakmann @Royper Eh, I haven’t seen a lot of those but it doesn’t hold up very well from the ones I did. My goal with gear is to come out the other end riding, uninjured. I don’t get the idea of rolling the dice and hoping for the best when you can gear up so simply these days. I’ve gotten in a few get offs, came out the other end just fine because I had “too much” gear.
Meanwhile, my friends who dressed for style all quit after one injury or another. If jeans pass your risk assessment, then cool, just don’t be the guy at the bbq walking me through 7 years of knee surgeries and telling my girl to “sell that damn bike before he kills himself”
