Fellas im sick of mine slipping, I'm going to France on Thurs and want to get some new ones. I have the raceface FR Rally but am forever pulling them up. I have tried 661's etc..Anyone???

Where are you going in France Damo? Will be heading down on Sunday

What about using a separate knee and shin combo? I've got some RaceFace FRs and although the feel and comfort is good they do slip a lot. I find most knee only pads I've used stay up pretty well so maybe use some of those and get some separate shin guards.

Just a thought!

Not going to The Alps this year

I use the Nukeproof ones and have been happy with them, your welcome to pop over and try mine out mate..

I would also say get separate knee and shin guards. I use 661 rage knee guards which offer very good protection and stay in place well and comfortably. I would get those and some 661 riot shin guards!

Hey Jon how's tricks? Going wed till sunday night mate, we should hook up Sunday. Are you staying at Adams place?

@ festa are they the full knee/shin? Do they slip?

Hiya. I had that problem with some of the hard plastic 661 knee/shinspads, I bought a 661 knee sock thingie that goes over the top of the upper knee bit and holds it all in place > http://www.powersportjunkie.com/ONE-IND ... -1621L.htm took that to morzine last year and everything held in place..bit hot though.

It did the job although since then Ive done away with knee/shin guards and gonna use just knee ones...and hope the pedals stay away from my shins..Ive got the new 661 Rage pads.

I see 661 do seperate soft type shin pads that I think would stay up better or the new Ramage knee/shin should be good. > http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Sear ... h=661+shin

Yeah full length shin and knee, slip a bit but not right down, they pretty much sit on your shoe so stops them sliding, and have adjustable straps so can pull in tight as you want..

I have the nukeproof too and they only slip a tiny bit but not to the stage where they need pulling up.
buy a medium unless you have rugby player legs the large are a tiny bit too large

Ok cheers fellas, gonna go for the nuke proofs, If they are no good I'm gonna put festa over my knee and spank him....!

Seems fair lol

Get the go pro on for that!

We are driving down on the Sunday but will be spending the first 2 in Verbier mate... then over to PDS on Weds so we may miss each other!

Yeah shame, wouldn't of been great to hook up. 1st time for us lot

Indeed would have been wicked to ride an essex train down some of the tracks - where are you staying?
