They do work, but never cared for the f*ckin' faarken things. I REALLY go for the li'l metal springy clips the "real" bikers, the PEDAL power ones, use. EZ on, EZ off. j/k
[sm=offtopic.gif] BTW, Rick Where did you "nuke" it at? Other than Chernobyl. Just curious.

I actually like these Faarken things... They work well, are relatively cheap and I just bought another pair for my son and wife. I don't want to have "special" jeans just for biking. I just want to grab a pair and put them on.

Yes they do, however I use them most when wearing my Frogg Troggs, they keep the legs from blowing up. I lost a clip off one, contacted them & received another within days, good people, good service, good product.

Isteal the things that my wife uses to hold down the sheets on the bed and use them. $2 at Wal-Mart, but then again they're not as cool.

They clip on to the cuff of your jeans, like suspenders do to the waist of your pants. Keeps your jeans from crawling up your leg while riding. I don't have a set myself, but I guess it beats tacking them in place with a Hilti gun.
