Leistonbmx Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I wear football ones. Light, air can get to your leg and cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happydaze Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 JJB's do some Nike ones for £20 they are light and work OK, but if you balls it big time like I do the pedals still get you, my advice is buy the real deal from tarty bikes. Well worth the investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0zzy Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 get the try all ones off tarty, dont restrict movement, full protecting, and keep your shins nice and warm this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
multi tasking male Posted February 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 get the try all ones off tarty, dont restrict movement, full protecting, and keep your shins nice and warm this time of year. i cant find the ones on tarty bikes, might just go with football shin pads, means i dont have to spend money on shin pads and i can buy something else for my bike instead chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Styles Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 i use 661 shin pads with built in knee pads. they are good as they protect you from the pedals hitting you but also if you fall off and hit your knees on the ground the only problem with them is there are kind of restrictive and do move around my leg occasionaly.
