  1. I thought this would be the best place to ask which shin protection is
    the best, and where I can buy it.

  2. SixSixOne 4x4 Leg armour is great, I just got some. It covers from the
    bottom of your shin over your knee, and wraps all the way around the
    back of you legs.

    Other than that, your local bike shop can probably get it in for you,
    assuming they have other SixSixOne gear instore

  3. I started a thread a while back about this. 661 4x4 are your best bet.

  6. 'PRYME' (http://www.prymegear.com)'s bootleg shin and knee guards are
    slimmer, and lighter than 661 4x4's. They have 3 different ways to wear
    them, they have removable padding and hard plastic guard.

    The 661's are a little more comfy though. And pricier.

    which shin protection is the best

    I'd use no less than the 'Centurion Hard Shell'
    (http://tinyurl.com/c9ese) shin guards. Granted, they don't offer much
    protection for the back of the leg, but you will never have to worry
    about another pedal bite on your shin... they even provide good foot
    protection. Same price as the 661's... I'd say give these a go!

  8. I prefer to use bare skin as protection. I roll 2" fenceposts up and
    down my shins to kill nerves. After about 2 weeks of doing 15 rolls per
    night, pedal bites don't hurt at all. Yeah, there's some blood
    occasionally, but chicks dig scars.

    Seriously, 661 and roach are both good. I use KH but they're no longer
    made. I think 661 is better than the hardshells because of back of calf
    protection... but then again I don't hit the back of my calf much at
    all (I think it's been a year or so... knock on wood), so that
    destinction is unneccessary.

  9. I am concerned with the back of my legs also. I don't like when I smash
    my calves.

  10. Get Six six one shin guards. Everyone i know wears them. the only
    problem is that if u don't put them on right u can hit the crank on the
    side. But nothing is perfect. Try em they are fine for me and it keeps
    ur legs warm in the winter!😄

  14. I use veggie wraps from 661 and some ankle biters...I got badly cut up
    ankels from the cranks....But i like the veggie wraps cause they dont
    go all the way up past your knees, tehy look nier and you can put them
    under your pants....But I cant really use the 4x4as cause they hurt my
    knees to badly wearing them...they pushed them oput of allignment on
    me...wierd I nkow...

  15. I got a pair of TSG shin guards. I like them because they have good
    ankle protection too.
