Actually breaking the 661 Ankle Biters would take some work. But if
you're constantly bashing your ankle on the old KH cranks I can see how
they could get cut up.

Or you could try the '661 Dually shoes'
(http://www.sixsixone.com/gear/shoe_dually.html). They're a bit
expensive though for a shoe.

Fox Racing also makes an ankle guard. It has a hard plastic cap over
the ankle which would offer more impact protection than the 661 Ankle
Biters. But they're also more bulky which could make them more likely
to get hung up on the cranks. This design is new. Fox Racing used to
make a different ankle guard that was more similar to the 661 Ankle
Biter. These new pads have a hard plastic shell over the ankle and are
different.

I see you haven't bought any trendy or skateboarding shoes in a while.
Most of them run in the $70-$150 range...

I generally get Vans and they're generally under $50. I also look for
them on sale and then get a couple pairs.

I let the young hip kids buy the $150+ shoes.

The Dually is actually closer to $100 when you factor in the cost of an
insole stiffener (the Dually is too soft without an insole support with
a plastic arch support).
Course my Vans are $55-$70 when you factor in the cost of the 661 Ankle
Biters.

really care if you do. haha. I did forget the comma, but i figure now,
you should have been able to understand that much.

I had the same problem with my ankles, I now use TSG shinguards with
ankle pads, theyre excellent. Unless your crank slips under the pad
thingy (which only happens when youre not wearing em right) and hits you
anyway... Finding a link now... seccy

Those ankle guards look nice, thanks for the link. My ankles keep
getting torn into by the KH nubs, and they never get a chance to heal.

It took me about a year to destroy mine, and I was riding a Summit 20"
with the nasty cranks nearly the entire time. In fact, one of the
original Wellgo pedals on the uni *just* snapped, so I'd say that the
ankle biters had their share of punishment.

Once the inner ankle cup tears off, you can cut the sole inserts and
place the left foot protector on the right foot and vice-versa. Its no
longer a perfect fit, but it definately extends the life a bit more.
Its a great fix if you're hard up for $$$.

I've been riding old-style Kh cranks for over a year and i don't think
i've ever caught my ankles on them, i put it down to pedal choice, some
have longer stub axles than others, DMR V12s are great, also wearing
something like a light walking boot, Merrell, Columbia or similar seems
to help, even though they don't have any specific protection to combat
this problem.
