Another reason to shave your legs
Ride tubeless. Get a rear puncture. Have sealant spray all over your legs. Spend all evening removing it from your leg hairs. It really sticks!
And I barely have any visible leg hair... I can only imagine how you gorillas out there would fare!

you have to put wax on your legs for puncture sealant protection.

It’s water soluble.

It’s been a while since leg shaving was on page 1 of the road cycling sub forum.

should be more popular
Despite tubeless ready rims, the reported sealant mess and the legendary difficulty of mounting GP5000 TL on my type of wheel has earned my bike another round of tubed tyres. Maybe next time.

Never had any pwoblems getting rid of sealant. It's water soluble. What kind are you using? Next time, go for a swim in a nearby lake!!

Spray your legs first with WD-40, so the sealant won't stick.

And, many people spend big bucks to go to the spa to get their legs waxed for hair removal.
When all you really have to do is splatter glue on it and yank it off.

I rarely wear shorts, but I thought the hairy legs created the golf ball effect!!!
