Post subject: | Knee and Shin Guards |
Hi, I know there's a post on this a little further down the page but I thought i'd get some advise on knee and or shin pads. I thought it was about time I stopped buying bits for the bike and brought some bits that would stop me hurting myself lol I have a budget of about £60 and will mostly be using them for DH/FR but will also use them in the summer for some Trail/XC so the question is do I buy Knee and shin together (Something like this http://www.evanscycles.com/products/six ... s-ec034283) or do I buy them separate (http://www.evanscycles.com/products/six ... s-ec034285 http://www.evanscycles.com/products/six ... s-ec034287) or would you just go for knees. I was looking at 661 but if you know any other that are better for about the same price, suggestions would be appreciated Cheers |

I would go with the knee and shin all in one less hassle. I picked up the nukeproof knee and shin guards last summer and they have saved me a few times. Everyone raves about the 661s but the nukeproof have that important ride and forget factor. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=68524 have you checked out the lopes tld ones http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=25230 |

I've been looking at the "one industries" knee and shin to replace my nukeproofs I might order them and the lopes ones from crc and send back which ever I dislike |

From experience I would just go for knee pads. The only damage you can do to your shins is from your pedals anyway. |

See what you mean, though I rarely slip pedals. With decent shoes and pedals I haven't found it happening really at all. |
