[RC] rubbing stirrup leathers - Tx TriggerChristina McCarthy posted: >>>My issue is how my calves get rubbed by my stirrup leathers after about 25 miles...<<< That is usually an easy fix. If an english saddle, many you can run the leathers under the flap, but some riders have trouble with the leathers then getting caught a bit on the girth buckle. Next, is to try fleece covers for the leathers. And my other favorite is to have a full fleece cover, and have the stirrup leathers between the saddle and cover, so it is the cover against the leg. You usually have to have a slot cut in the bottom of the cover, for the leathers to hang our from it, and some have trouble with the opening ripping from their legs swinging too far back, but I have not had that trouble. 1/2 chaps. I am one who does not usually ride without them. But no reason to get pinched by those leathers. Lots of ways to fix that! <grin> Jonni =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
