That is a viable product liability claim. Contact Deeg of this forum for representation.

Take a used glove - preferably the same style and/or color ... Cut between the fingers on either side of the one you want to use. Keep a "flap" from the back of the old glove. Insert a short piece of PVC into the finger. Stitch or GorillaGlue the assembly to the back of your lobster claw.

When you want to flip someone off, just raise your closed hand.



Glad to help.

"Your best work is the work you're excited about" - Rick Rubin

You know giving a finger to an offending diver is, for many people giving them exactly waht they are expecting/wanting. I think that there are many in this group that seem to thrive on confrontation. If you follow them around for a day, I would not be surprised if the went from confrontation to confrontation, all day long. So, I give them what they are least expecting, a smile and a wave and if they have really been a jerk I note their car and liscence number and then report them to the police when I get home. That will have more impact.

The biggest problem with them (IMHO) is that you can't really use STI shifters with them.

Ah, but you should be using Ergos anyway, Tom!

"How bad can it be?" - SimpleS

I thought someone made a "globster?" Basically the pinky & ring fingers were connected like a lobster. And the index & bird fingers were each separate like a glove. Keeps the benefits of better warmth for those two fingers, yet still allow you to tell those a&*hole motorists they're #1. Also easier to work with STI shifters.

When encumbered in such a way, one must resort to sitting up, and performing the flip off as such:

Thanks for all the tips and suggestions...I'm off to the Home Despot, err, Depot, for some PVC!

 

I've had the gloves for around 10 years, and have had the same complaint. Although I have calmed down _some_ and don't flip people off as much as I used to.

Anyway, it seems to me that the easiset solution would be to put some sort of visual representation of your middle finger, over where your middle finger actually is. Then you just hold up your first 2 fingers... they'd get the idea. Of course, they'd also figure that you flip people off pretty often, if you've got something built just for that purpose.

Of course, you could always do that european thing where you put your fingertips under your chin, palm facing in, and brush your fingers out. i don't actually know what htat means, though.

"Maybe you should just run faster..." TM

I give discourteous drivers a thumbs down and a head shake. Maybe rude drivers want the bird, maybe they deserve it, but they aren't going to get it from me. And the thumbs down also keeps me from looking like a huge jerk in the event that somebody really passed too close or cut me off out of ignorance.

I still like the glove idea, if that's your thing.
