Joe 90 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I've been out riding the last couple of days and have been trying out a new wall i'm attempting to conquer. I keep smashing my right ankle on the crank whenever i try this and its starting to give me a limp and is bloody painfull. I'm sure its all down to technique but in the meantime can anyone suggest some form of ankle protection to save my maleolus. I can put up with trashing my shins so doesn't have to be bulky shin and ankle guards.Any ideas? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcinnes Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 A bandage round the ankle might work, or something spungy ( sp? ) like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstein Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I had the same problem when I learnt how to do high bunnyhops and you are right, it is all to do with technique. Try moving your feet slightly over on the pedals. Until you sort out your technique try ziptying a peice of sponge to the area of your crank that you keep hitting.
