Velodrome - Track Gear, Tools, Saddles, Gloves etc.

I'd love the 35cm Nittos in alu

The steel are heavier because they're stiffer than the alu version, if you intend to only use it for track, then no point in getting the alu version (unless you find your bar a touch too narrow).

What Gloves do you recommend off of your own experience? I was checking out the Hzrl Grippp. Hard to get hold of and am unsure of performance. NFL wide receiver gloves have a grippy layer which is designed to deal with huge amounts of sweat over a long period of time during a game/training. So that's why I thought about Cutters.

I'd have thought the other reason for glove is to prevent your hand from getting road rash when you crash.

Don't overthink it!

This.

Just turn up with the appropriate gearing, and see how you get on before you go all lady ga-ga on wiggle ordering parts that you may not need.
