        Bought a DSG Nero from meandering india on the weekend. Went with a mindset of buying either spg or Cramster but cramster wasnt in stock at the moment and spg only Achilles was available. Quickly opened this thread and searched through user Comments on the Nero over the years. Made a decision and bought it after reading many positive reviews here. Hope that it serves me well!

          So... Finally I got my pair of the cramster flux.. It felt correct when I tried it at the shop.

          Unfortunately.. It keeps folding up at the palm.. And that males it difficult to grip the handlebar comfortably..

          My question is.. Are leather gloves supposed to be like that.. And they'll be ok after some breaking in.. Or have I got myself an oversized one?
          In which case there's a pair of cramster flux up for sale for 1200 bucks if anyone's interested.:-P worn only twice, done 60 knw in it...

          Please let me know your thoughts..

            I am not a pro, but me think you got yourself a tad larger size then you need.

            IMHO The glove should fit snug, like a glove.

              Indeed, if it's not a snug fit then check out Cramster's glove chart ( it's somewhere on this thread but no longer on their website ) since it's more likely that it's a sizing issue & not break-in related. However, luckily Cramster & their dealers usually exchange sizes if the glove is intact & possibly with it's tag plus anything that came with it, so that they can send you a new one. Alternatively if thats not possible then i suggest posting an ad in bazar section as well.tc

                      Hi

                      I am using same colour jacket from bacchoo motors in Mumbai since one and half year without any problem. Rain liners are not that good though. They won't protect you from Mumbai rains.
                      Otherwise Very good jacket for Mumbai weather. I use it almost everyday.

                                Yes, it was over 7 days.. I was out of town for a week after buying it, and could do a ride only after a week.. I shouldn't have listened to thr salesman who said you should leave about half inch at fingertips so that the fingers curl up comfortably while gripping Tue handlebar.

                                It made sense at that time, but apparently I didn't fully understand the repercussions..

                                Anyway whats done is done.. Will be wiser from hereon..
