GyTrials Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Whilst tapping up a small wall in Cleethorpes on Saturday,my foot slipped off the pedal and this is the result,Required 4 stitches and the doctor said it was allmost at the bone, best part is that i didn't really hit the pedal hard just slipped down it.Oh well didnt really feel it untill a day or so later,Think shin pads may be the way forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 looks nasty mate they take ages to heal up, and they leave a scare . i hate it because they just scab over and dont heal for months. hope it heals soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GyTrials Posted June 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Hopefully it will heal pretty quickly so i can get out riding again.Can anyone recomend any good shin pads, which are fairly cheap and dont have the knee protection,cheers steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boris_on_trials Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Oh man thats harsh.

future orange 660 Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 nothing new here. i would almost certianly guarantee that every experienced rider will have the odd pedal scar.i cant get on with shin pads cos they get soo hot and are too restrictive imo.

Rebelistic Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 I always ride with either some cheap 'spiky shins' from a LBS or these days I aways use Dainesse (can't spell it) knee and shin pads since I hate hitting my knee on my stem .I actually find the knee and shins to be more comfortable than the shins alone.

future orange 660 Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 when i once wore some knee and shin pads i found that my knee hit the stem alot more because they stick out so much. even thiugh it didnt hurt its still annoying. those dainesse pads have little protection at the back which means you stay relatively cool, but are vulnerable to spinning spinkey pedals.

sunn_bmixx Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 if you want a cheap option just use foot ball shin pads and they have a really nice fit and protect your ankle aswell ThanksIan, and yes, that looks really nasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunn_bmixx Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 give it a few days and you will be good to go. I was told i couldn't ride for like 4 weeks because I had torn the ligaments in my ankle but i was riding within 1 week. But take it easy, dont feel ashamed to be doing smaller stuff Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GyTrials Posted June 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Doesn't hurt at all when i touch it Think i may have damaged nerves or something in my shin from constant pedal abuse hopefully have stitches out on thurs, so i can be out again on the weekend steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
