dannytrialskid Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Yeah I do, I wear these: http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?product_id=10694&category_id=119 I don't like riding without them now, they are the most comfortable things ever and do the job 100% well.

Surpose. If you a 'Ex-footballer' Or have some old 'shin' pads lying about. You could cut the 'Shin' part off. And just use the ankle protector bit. The white part at the bottom. See here.

Twitch-119 Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 (edited) I personally use 'Hi-Tops' shoe design, and at the moment learning foot jam tail whips which means ankle need some protection these shoes work a treat http://www.sneakerobsession.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/globe-superfly-vulc-black-lime-snakeskin.jpg Edited June 7, 2010 by T-Proboy13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B0LT0N Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 Does anyone ride with ankle protection? I keep on bashing the inside of my left ankle on the chain stay. I ride with shin pads which have attached ankle guards on them, i bash my leg against my frame when doing turns with the back of my frame which are greater than 45 degrees.

trev Posted June 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 Thanks everyone. I've just ordered ankle protectors for Tarty Bikes. Hopefully this will help keep my ankle from being in agony. Trev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 how about old motorcycle boots Funny you should say that, I find the best way to make bike trials a piece of piss is have a session on a moto trials bike first! Everytime I got back from a trial or summat would have a play on my heavy tools and it'd be the lightest, easiest to do anything on bike in the world!

eep803 Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 I think TSG do a shin+ankle pad combo but am not sure where sells them in the UK. Does anyone else know where I could get some? I have shin pads but really fancy some ankle protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
