661's!!!
I just used my 661's for the first time yesterday and I did like them vs. my old volleyball knee pads I was using but have a few complaints. The first being that they get pretty damn hot and you sweet muchos grandes from wearing them, but that's kinda a given since they are black and don't have much ventilation. The other problem I have is that my legs are too dang long. 661's are the longest ones I could find but it still isn't long enough. So after a couple minutes of riding they start to slide down my leg, slowly unprotecting my knee. Although they do eventually stop sliding down, my knee is more exposed than I'd like and it's uncomfortable but not much I can do. Or is there?

I like my 661s. they've saved me from various shin bruises, knee scrapes, and pedal bites... they're kinda coming apart now though. -- Fuego - A Cult of Unicyclists If u could've aborted president bush using medicinal marijuana grown by a gay guy with a feeding-tube who was on death row, wade u? -GILD "Get off my Property before you sue me!" -Morons everywhere.

I fell with all my weight on my 661 padded shins the other day, on a (realativly) sharp edge, and got bruised THROUGH my 661s. THink how it woulda been without them. THere pretty good.

Can you say unicycling with your legs in a wetsuit :-) Sweat is a bit annoying bit it is a small price to pay for saving your legs from bloody gashes requiring medical attention. Before I got my leg armour I used to draw blood very frequently and got some nasty shin and calf gashes. I have seen people with serious gash wounds from not using leg armour (ie large numbers of stitches and several month heal times with big permanent scars). Unicycle rides that end up with people carted off in an ambulance suck. I'll take sweat over pain and scarring any day :-) -- peter.bier - Posting since 97 -Peter Bier ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peter.bier's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/1506 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/42699 |
