  1. I was wondering what recommendations people have for unicycling leg
    protection. I am beginning to try unispins and crankflips and wanted to
    get a few suggestions. I have a dx 24 and pedal bite can be nasty. I
    would also like to keep the price reasonable while still getting
    something that will do its job well and be semi-comfortable.

  2. 661 shin/knee guards. They are awesome, and you can find them on sites
    for about 20 dollars.

    They cover the back of your leg pretty well, not padding and stuff, but
    enough to stop a lot of cuts. The front has foam with plastic inserts
    over that that are great for impacts, and have saved my knee and shins
    so many times.

    According to a lot of people, the straps sucks, which is kinda true.
    For me, I can get them on and off quickly, but, I have had some strips
    rip off. They are easily sewn back on, but they can be just a small
    annoyance.

    You will get hot in them, and sweaty, but that is almost a guarantee
    with all pads to wear. I don't notice how bad I get until I take them
    off. =p

  5. Is it necessary to have pads that cover the back of you legs well or is
    the front the most important.

  6. the majority of my pedal scrapes are on the back of my leg. i'd go with
    some shengards than really cover the whole calf (like those kh ones😉 )

  11. If you can find some pre-raceface roach shinguards, they're sweet.
