Hey i have the sixsixones full leg which covers the nee. but i dont want the annoying nee part.. could i just cut it off the sew it up?? has anyone done this??? any other ideas?? thanks
I actualy find the knee part a bit ineffective at the knee. I have done alot of damage to my knee despite them, they protect well from small things but you get a frame to the knee cap and your still limping for some time.
If you want to just cut it you could probably sew it back up then heat it up and I think it will sort of melt the way shoelaces do sometimes.
That is exactly what I did. I couldnt bend my knee as freely as I wanted so I cut the knee part off and sewed it back up. I transplanted a strap to the top and its worked perfectly for like a year.

The shin guards save me from pedals, the knee parts save me from rocks and asphalt...

Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
I bet that if cut them off, your gonna wreck and hit your knee =p that seems like how it works =p

can you give me a shoutout in your sig. some thing like i love jonny....or jonny is the coolest. or be creative. but pleeeasssee can i have a shoutout from you?
I dont like my 661 4x4, they hurt my knees, since i'm allready injured this hurts a lot! I ride with a pair of soccer shinguards instead.. protects my ancles much better, aren't nearly as warm,, and they keep my pedals away from my shins.. tho big minus is that they ont protect my calf.. wearing long trousers makes it all the same though..
I've been thinking about cutting my 661s down for the shorts-season... A while left though..
I have to wear my 661's with the logo facing in, other wise they chafe the inside of my knees... But they're worth their weight in gold I think 😄
