Wanted: flats and shin pads

Howya, I'm looking for a set of flat pedals and shin pads. I have SPDs at the moment but I'm trying out some beginners basic technical trickery like wheel lifts, manuals, hops, slippy rooty switchbacks and was advised that flats for a wee while might suit me to get the technique down.

My shins/calves are in bits as it is so I'm looking for some pads to stop me tearing myself up with the pins.

This is all down to crap basic technique so don't need any hard core DH pads or anything like it.

Cheers, Stephen

shin pads being sold in "shed clear out" further down this forum.....

All sorted. Thanks folks :)

Knee pads..shin pads. For the love of God Steve, allow me to give you a one on one lesson on how to ride your bike this Friday !

Hahaha

You can teach me how to ride a bike / throw abuse at me anytime, Richie. Thats a very nice offer and much appreciated. I gotta warn you that I could break you, the talentless feck that I am. I think Alfie almost give up mending bikes when he seen my yoke. Don't blame me if you never leave the gaff again and resign yourself to watching Ben Hur 24x7.

I'll give you a bell to see where you're at on Friday.

Cheers, Stephen


Surely you must have better things to be doing like spending your time helping a talented whippersnapper?
