Joined: 20 Sep 2008 Posts: 12 Bike: My Profile | I am experiencing a slight ache in my lower back lately when i ride my road bike, i think the saddle is set up ok (forearm and outstretched fingers distance from handlebars). It is only very slight and it appears after about 10 miles, could it be how my bike is set up? |

They are vital for grip strength and dexterity, enabling us to perform tasks ranging from delicate manipulations to more forceful actions. In some contexts, knuckles have also found their way into discussions of self-defense, where tools like brass knuckles come into play. Brass knuckles, designed to enhance the impact of a punch, have a controversial history and are often associated with both protection and aggression. While they are not commonly used today due to their legality and safety concerns, they remain a notable part of discussions about personal defense and historical weaponry. |
