Plenty of others available, and prob cheaper too. You had a look at Chain Recation site ? Ive got some 661 D30 ones, not a great fan of the hard knee/shin types, as they can be unflexible,hard and some have a tedendancy to slip down, leaving your knee exposed. But does depend on the type of ridiing you do,how light/flexible do you want them to be, etc ? Many of the big bike stores have been running great sales recently and many here have picked up some bargain clothes/armour, there have been quite a few recent threads about it. Andy |

I think they are moto cross ones to be honest. But I have screws in both Knees and titanium rods in both legs hence I've gone heavy duty hopping that if i do crash they will take the brunt of it. I just wondered if I could peddle with them Cheers Danny |

Well..that explains more, they differ from MTB pads in the bit above the knee, it has a seperate knee joint and I suspect, yes peddling may be a bit hard. |
