Pant Leg Cuff Clips Bike Bicycle

When I got them in the mail, I was surprised at how small they are, but then I realized that they have to be. Ankles aren't exactly big usually lol. So they're correctly sized. The metal is a good solid very springy metal. If the picture isn't clear, they work by spreading open, and letting them spring shut around your pants at/near your ankle (ABOVE the ankle bone). So in terms of keeping my jeans out of the bike chain, they work excellently!My only moderate complaint is that they tend to clamp your ankles somewhat to the point of discomfort depending on how you positioned them, your jeans, and at what height. My remedy to this that worked for the most part was to over-expand each of them so upon returning to a relaxed state, they had a larger opening. If you do this, err on the side of not expanding enough, so you can always open them more if need be. This has largely taken care of that complaint, so I'm happy with the product. The small, simple design works well also for me to put these either in my backpack or my pocket if I have to.

I thought that metal bicycle pant clips no longer existed. I was using the velcro ones, and hated them. So I went to my favorite source for obscure items, Amazon (yeah, I like Amazon for non-obscure items, too). Bingo! There they were, the way I remember them from the 60's and 70's. So I ordered, got prompt delivery, and I'm really happy. These things grab the bottom of your pants way better than the velcro ones, you can put them on way faster, and remove them faster, and they don't feel like they are squeezing your legs the way the velcro does. If you ride a bicycle, and are sick of getting grease on your pant legs from the chain wheel, these are for you.

I have to admit when I first put these clips on I thought all the reviews that said the clips are too tight were right. However I'm not one to leave good enough alone. I decided to see if you could spring these a little - sure enough, if you bend them out they will loosen up. This probably a one way thing. Don't over bend them or you may be disappointed. I bent mine a little tighter than I thought perfect and decided to wear them around the house for the afternoon. So far so good. BTW I only bent one, if that works I'll bend the other one.

The cuffs are easy to put on. I am surprised that you still can buy something that was around years ago! It is the same quality and works the same as it used to. They keep your pant legs clean, if you put the cuffs on properly: have the open part of the cuffs away from the bike, and cuff your pants, so that they are smooth on the inside of your legs, a bit above the ankles. leave room for your knees to bend and not stretch the pants. Your pants will be free of grease!

This item is not adjustable and difficult to use. It’s a nonreturnable item and not for an adult.

Simple band as expected

Sturdy metal design, but a bit on the small side, and put a lot of pressure on the sides of your ankle.Tip: mannually stretch the cuff clip open before first use to improve comfort. Probably fits more easily with time, as the metal's bend eases up a bit.

I bike commute and I don't want my work pants getting greasy on the inside. These work fantastically and are the easiest thing to get on and off. They are tight enough to hold my pants and to remind me that they are there when I walk away from my bike so I don't walk into my first meeting of my day looking weird. Now if only I could do something better about my helmet hair.
