I had been really happy with my 661's until recently. Pedal smacks in
the shins and falls that occured were protected nicely.

I was out riding Muni, riding over smalls rocks, when I took a superman
style fall. My knee protected 661's hit the ground, the 661's stopped,
and my knee kept going, sliding out of the top of the pads, only to stop
after hitting a rock. Granted, the 661 took most of the abuse, but I'm
not happy that I got the cut on my knee. The cause being that the 661's
didn't slide at all on the ground because of the nylon fabric covering.


My Harbinger wrist wraps with the plastic insert worked wonderfully and
slid across the ground instead of stopping abruptly.

I have since ordered, and received a pair of Roach Rally FR pads, and
while I was at it, I got the same thing in elbow pads. They have the
hard plastic knee and shin protector on the outside that should slide
better when making contact with the ground.

Just like a snake bite, only it is the pedal biting.
