Mark W Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 661 Pro Race Ankle Brace. Do it up tight. Win win win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Quigley Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I agree with Onzaboy. I use one (almost) everytime I ride and it's awesome. Provides plenty of support but still allows movement. I've never felt like my ankle is in jepordy with it and my ankles shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 yeah, the 661 pro is really good. you barely notice yo're wearing it an it stops your ankle re-f**king-up. Offers a hell of a lot of suport and is comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 (edited) 661 pro is pretty good, im using a nike one atm thats similar but offers a bit more protection from your ankle rolling over, but if you really want to stop that especially i would personaly buy one of these, link!! mate has one and its awesome, your ankle is just like solid to the sides, but movement up and down is still sweet and you can trials absolutely fine in it as you may have i guessed i completely fudged my ankle not so long ago and im like proper protective over it lol Edited October 9, 2008 by adrian@eastcoasttrials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NVWOCI WVS Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Yeah, I rolled my ankle really serverely in febuary, ligament, muscle and bone damage. I was riding with one of the 661 supports after 6 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonMack Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 You can really get the 661 ones done up tight. A mate of mine wears them and when he takes them off after riding the rest of his leg is about 1cm bigger either side because he does the ankle brace up so tight. I reckon you would be alright with them Dave, just don't expect to be able to go huge. Maybe get an XC/road bike just to build up some strength? I dunno much about ankles but I would have thought that would probably help, just getting used to the motions and everything again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr ailsbury Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models....mp;ModelID=1203I've got one like that.You'll probably need something a bit meatier but the 661 braces are really good, really support your foot and help to stop it aching and stuff had a couple of falls that probably would have destroyed my ankle if I wasn't wearing it.Maybe have a word with Physio Si first though, he'll maybe come and check it out and then reccomend something to you.
