    I have read somewhere that you should not wear socks when track racing. Is this correct?

    Socks are fundamentally wrong in any cycling discipline; Leaves a weird tan line...

    Weird tan line!:eek:

    Then I guess that bald riders should not wear helmets as the vent holes leave tan lines/tan marks as well.😄

    How about socks in your jocks?😄

    For those who feel they are inadequate.

    Yep thats spot on. Track sprinters always have 'low sock height'. On the other hand good roadies always have 'high sock height' a general rule is the stronger you are the higher you must wear your socks.

    Low sock height - cyclingnews.comeadiewin.shtml
    High sock height - cyclingnews.comtour04.php

    Don't wear low sock height on the road unless your as quick as Baden Cooke and co 😄

    cheers
