Hi
Just got a new set of textile trousers which are great except they have no grip and i'm sliding forward every time i break.
Anyone know of anything i can use to make the saddle grippier ?

Cheers

as an interim measure do you not grip the tank with your knees as you brake? ,

alot of men don't until they have to brake REALLY hard and often drop their bikes because of this Laughing .... and its one way to tell women bikers from male ones.

or maybe that no slip stuff they sell in bike shops for £20 a sheet and in B&Q for £5 for an even bigger sheet?.

yeah i found that helps and will have to until i find a no-slip solution.
If i'm wearing jeans its fine but the new textiles are the problem. i'll have a look down my local bike shop.

try ebay. I've seen non-slip pillion seat covers so you might be able to get one for the riders seat too

Stomp grip? Click

Can move your backside about easily for the corners and still grip the tank easily?
