Calf pads for tall bockers
« on: April 02, 2007, 09:32:54 PM »
Has anyone else found the calf pads bruise the back of your legs

I am 6ft 3 and because I ride horses my calfs are over developed also the pit dirt knee pads push me further back (they are really comfortable so I want to keep using them)

So for an adjustable onesize fits all I'm a real night mare

Made these and all the pain has gone they are so comfy

Hmmm, Nice mod!
I don't have this probably as i have very skinning lower legs, but im sure this may come in handy for people with bigger legs.
If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room!

Thanks for the nice word Naz

I have found that since I have made the cuffs I don't need the pads anymore as the cuffs move your legs forward so they don't rub anymore

I've found a cheap and easy MOD for the back of my calfs !
A small piece of insulting pipe foam 50p for 2 meters !  ;D


Has for the hoop I'd like bigger ones too ?
Are all hoops the same size I have the 115's do people on 60's have the same size calfs ... I don't think so !!  :-\

Nice one I eventually took the pads off when I made some cuffs because I had the same problem (I could'nt get my size 13 feet through the hoops) the cuffs let you move your shin forward so your calfs don't rub

Try this http://www.projumpforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=586.0 and you'll never look back they are easy to put on and so comfy
