1fluffhead and nerdbot5000's explanation of how they skid just helped me pull my first one! Cheers lads! Been trying for a little while and just couldn't get them.. I ain't lookin for Hipster points, but I needed to know, had a few close calls recently, can't find a brake lever to fit my drops (poor excuse I know) but now I don't need one!
Was on fresh Gatorskinz, 80" and on smooth pavement (my patio). Rolled my back wheel on the damp lawn and helped me get the first one, but got easier after that one!
