Gap between calf and pad! help!
« on: December 16, 2007, 09:07:46 PM »
title pretty much says it, i have bought my PJ's not that long ago and set them up with the kneebar just below my kneecap, but when i strap myself forward to the bar (is that right?) i get over an inch gap between my calf and the shiny orange pad, is this normal? as my leg seems to have alot of freedom of movement. If this is wrong any1 got any ideas how to solve it?

[Hoping get pics soon as my descriptions suck :( ]

You can turn the plate the other way up !

Thats pretty normal so don't worry about it, the majority have this problem. (Apart from DK ofcourse!)

You could try putting some knee/shin pads on as this will help reduce the gap a little.

And if you dont feel secure also strap your knee's in - this link will help http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=1395.0

Just had an idea 'CALF-BAGS" !
If you cut a waterwing into two squares ( not tube type ) and glue/tape/tie ( whatever ) to the calf pad. You could blow as much or as little air as needed it make a comfy for you !?  :)
