Who would have thought the elastic would dig so deep into all that fat?
But seriously, a very annoying issue. I certainly have that issue with socks at times and I imagine I'd have the same problem on a very long ride.
Oliver Schick-
Annoying my arms are lean, big but lean. If they were coated in lard like the rest of me this wouldn't have been such an issue. I took two pairs of socks to preempt this a bit - one long pair and one short but then it was the arm warmers that got me. Probably due to the constant swapping from aerobars to hoods/drops when braking for all the bloody bike path RABs.
hippy
Yeah, but unless its efficacy is proved I don't wanna faff with carrying a tub of fish oil around. I mean, is it going to make any noticeable difference compared to taking a paracetamol?
Really what I should be doing is preventing these stupid injuries in the first place. I can't believe elastic has caused me so much drama in all these races. Socks, calf guards, now arm warmers, ffs. Maybe I should just go back to wearing torso covering stuff and using sunscreen.
