Default Knuckle protectors in gloves!

Ok im going to post it,cause I dont have many people on my AIM list into bikes,and Patrick keeps busting my head to get one with CARBON FIBER for better protection over the plastic ones.

The gloves I have in mind to order,are the JoeRockets
Reactor 2.0
Atomic 2.0

I would know about these gloves also,and HOW much better are carbon fiber better than plastic.

thanks

I've got a pair of Phoenix 3.0's that have been worn MAYBE 5 times that I'd be willing to part with. This is what they look like, mine are all black. http://www.kneedraggers.com/details/...s--506263.html

just make sure they fit right, so you don't get pissed with them and ride without them.

i have like 6 diff pairs.. no clue the the names without looking. for me tight is better, but that's me.



really thou from what I've learned, you won't know what you like till you get the bike and ride for about 6 months.

after that you will know what you like by just trying them on. till then your just guessing.

and i guessed wrong.


oh and i say spend the extra(screw online stuff) and buy from cycle gear. they will return stuff months after without any questions. really good about helmets too. you can take them back to try diff ones as many time as you want for 30 days...

Not many manufacturers are using real Carbonfiber anymore. It's been known to splinter during a crash. Then your picking carbonfiber out of your knuckles. OUCH!
