AntonioGG Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Especially when riding Thumper and Emma Long. It's only BR because I've had terrible rides at Emma Long in the past, with about 30 bites from these flies in one ride. https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2019/02/why-do-zebras-have-stripes-flies/583114/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntonioGG Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 Those look like hipster skinny sized jeans. I see they have some spandex, I thought UCI banned spandex for enduro and downhill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATXZJ Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) For better or worse, all the DH kits are fitting tighter than before. Gone are the days of super baggy moto freerider style. I just bought a pair of those kevlar pants for the wife (not zebra) and they are tight-ish but still loose enough to wear pads underneath them.

Kyle Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Beautyberry grows all over thumper and truly works as a horse fly repellent: https://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/ornamentals/nativeshrubs/callicarpaamerica.htm I rub the leaves on my back and lats where they usually bite and stick a few leaves in my pockets. It also grows close to Barton Creek but is harder to find higher up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonioGG Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 That’s the stuff that seems to give the shits to whatever eats it right? This time of year there seems to be a lot of beauty berry scat on the trail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I know I'm not supposed to but I just can't stop eating it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATXZJ Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) for that price, yes. I had to do some serious haggling to get the wife's kevlars down under $120.00. Pants are awesome for the cooler weather and for hitting the nastier places in central tex. Edited October 22, 2019 by ATXZJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He topped of his zebra pants with a hot pink shirt. You got to coordinate!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
