Monty_susanne Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 i was looking around at tartybikes and found this one:linki've always had problems with my ankels because i always sprain them, have someone tried it? is it anything to have. I want something that doesnt effect my riding....cheersSujo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I got one, its not exactly ankle death proof, it just keeps it from twisting too muchDoesn't restrict you from riding though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I don't think it's a good idea for trials where you need to move your ankles a lot, looks like it was designed with freeride/4x in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 i've got some and they aren't too restrictive at all - no worse than a pair of hightops done up properly. that does mean they don't really do great deal of supporting though. theyre a lot better than nothing but don't offer a massive amount of protection.

Fixed Pants™ Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I'd say they've been designed with anti roll in mind, if that hasn't already been realised yet?Rolling to either side support shouldn't be restrictive to toe up and down movement (if you get what i mean)Should be ok i guess, probably a big help if your ankles roll easily.

Monty_susanne Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 cheers for the help... if we compare to wear one of those on tartybike or just wrap a bandage around (that doesnt really cost anything) is it still worth to buy it? I mean it works pretty well with bandage, still its annoying when u all the time have to wrap it over and over again...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 I found that bandages did nothing really. I just used to wear Ipath grasshopper shoes, the high top ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
