I haven't worn gloves since about 2000, and my hands are fine for up to about 30 miles, but over that and I feel as if I want som light padding.
Since I so rarely ride over 30 miles, I wonder if anyone has a used, cheap, but still usable pair of Size Large cycling gloves without to much padding.
Actually, help me with sizing, too. I just measured the circumference of my dominant, right hand just below the knuckles and with the tape rather loose I get about 8 1/4", which seems to be on the cusp of M and L. Since gloves stretch, and used ones will be already stretched, ought I to seek a Medium pair?
Just looked and saw that Riv GOAT gloves are only $25; but if anyone has something even cheaper that is:
M or L (see above);
Only lightly padded;
Relatively clean and whole;
Cheap;
I would be grateful to hear about it.
Tell you what: Will trade some Wellgo 3-bolt-to-SPD-cleat adapters for yours, per earlier thread on the Boblist.
Thanks.
