  • Got the fixie skidder ready for winter today as the weather was fucking foul when i left work.

    Loads of people seem to have problems with the SKS raceblade shorts but this is my 3rd winter with them and I have really found them to be rock solid once fitted correctly.

    I have found that they do 'bounce' a bit which can cause a bit of buzz or damage to the paint, so this year i'm trying a new approach:

    Also trying something with my Spech Romin as its seemingly designed to channel water right into your arsehole.

    Bit of milk bottle makes all the difference.

  • #Mudguardbrothers:

    Just installed those and applied the same tricks. Seem pretty solid this way.

    I see you reversed the blades and used the holes for the end caps? I just took a Philips screwdriver and made two tiny holes. Did you screw the blades to the plastic things to hold them in place once you fitted them correctly? I did once I noticed the blades kept moving around in the holders due to vibrations. Makes the fit quite permanent though.

    I just used the tip of a knife to cut a small hole in them. I've never found mine to move, in fact they're really very difficult to slide in the holders.
