Sock overshoes + bonus
Posted: Sun Feb 10, 2013 12:14 am
Hey so looking at overshoes today, I saw some that were socks. They had a line on the bottom to cut for the cleats.
As I have said before, I am only leaning about the traditions of cycling, but I am wondering why I would wear socks over my shoes instead of regular overshoes and these are socks tht are specific to wear over the shoe. Should I wear my underwear outside of my pants(!).
Any benefits or is it just to look cool, if you consider covering $350 shoes with socks cool.
2. Vittoria pit stop, it says to put it over the tire and push. Do I still have To bring a pump to inflate or does this do that as well like the Hutchinson product I saw?
3. I forgot, but when I remember I'll edit it in. No I remember. Chamois cream. It's oil base right? Do I slater it on my genitals(someone just got a bonar) or onto the shorts. Also, being oil based is it hard to wash out? I use Woolite hand washing laundry soda and wash my clothes very briefly and lightly, I wouldn't want this to build up in the short and get 'sgusting. I did read tht extends the life o the chamois.
