What do you want to use it for and whatâs the deal you found on it.
Just got new team kits and I donât want to prematurely ruin them with all the times I need to pin them for cross. So I decided Iâm going to try to use gear repair tape to reinforce the spots that get pinned through. A piece on both the inside and outside of each pinning location. Iâve got clear tape so it wonât be super obvious when Iâm riding without a number on.
My question then becomes, when pinning a jersey with pockets, do you pin the number above the pocket or covering the pocket? Itâs cross so I wonât need the pockets.
Actually, I think I just answered my own question while writing this because I realized tons of people put numbers on jerseys all the time for road events where they do use the pockets so obviously you pin above the pocket. Thanks Tarck!

All our local races just use ankle chips. Makes me realise I cant think of the last time I physically pinned a number on.
We have helmet chips, but they still make us pin numbers. Unsure why. Donât think the officials actually keep track during the race.

Fold/trim number to be smaller and pin on top of pockets, thru elastic/stitching, no need for addl reinforcement?
Good idea.
But I already did it.
Looks ok. Will report if it still looks ok after tomorrowâs race.
Definitely visible, but better than holes. Never had a jersey this delicate before.

Cool shirt design.
There was a moment after forming the team that I realized I had no idea how we were going to design a kit. Then I remembered that one of the folks is actually a graphic designer. He did the logo. The rest is Sportfulâs semi-custom design tool.
surely someone makes a product that uses magnets
I get a lot of ads on the gram for some sort of number pin alternative. The algorithm is failing because Iâve only worn a number once (in 1990) and donât have any plans to wear one in the future.
Magnetic number pins are popular with rodeo riders, too. You can get bedazzled versions.
Race Dots says theyâre UCI approved, but I canât see how theyâre any different from the stuff on Etsy or AliX.
Canât imagine that magnets stay on during a crash.
canât imagine pins do either! they never stay on for me when i crash
Valid point.
Anyone used the Blackburn Grid 40 rear light? In search of a rechargeable tail light that utilizes a usb-c connection.
Yeah, Iâve used a Grid 40 off and on for a little under two years now. It seems pretty bright for being only 40 lumens and is brighter off-axis than the other battery rear light I have (PDW Aether Demon). I donât recall how closely it matches the specâed run time in solid mode, but it charges quickly enough for my short commutes.
