Blisters

[Pittenger5]

What do you guys use to prevent blisters? I get em REAL bad when I ride. Tried switching gloves, glove size, everything glove related, but nothing helped. Not sure if those "blister guard" glove things really work.
Suggestions?

Use lube next time?

Loosen up!

What kinda grips you running?

[Paul_E_D]

You definitely need to relax your grip. I know it doesn't seem possible, but getting your weight forward, always more forward helps a ton in every way. Especially under acceleration you need to lean into it so the foot pegs are pushing you and the bars are not pulling you down the track.

Then you need to ride often enough to develop calluses where your blisters are. after 5 days riding this week, I have some thick calluses.

Chaz Davies has a great tip for blister. Check 2 minutes in

I don't know, but she can pee on me anytime. Wait, wut?

Htfu.

Those pillow top grips work well. I fucking hate them though. I also hate to agree with doc, but yeah, loosen up. And ride more.

Edit: one thing is absolutely certain, do NOT get thicker cushier grips. You won't even be able to hang on your arms will pump so bad.

Alot of the pro riders use a wrap on their hands, but I have no idea what it is.

Loosen your grip More legs then Arms. Once you ride alot the blister will turn into callouses and they will Never bother you.

Or wear Held gauntlets

put some Vaseline in the gloves, keep them hands real soft for the ladies.

[Pittenger5]

I tried using PalmSavers, and after a little getting used to (Yay whiskey throttle) they actually work fantastically. Havent gotten any blisters at all.

[Kitt]
