I'm thinking of buying something like [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=24008 ]this[/url] ?
I'd mainly be using it for dirt jumping and depending on how comfortable it is, some of the more 'extreme' xc riding i do occasionally. I ask as i had a preety hard crash on the woburn dirt jumps yesterdy, which winded me for a while, and i still ache today. So was thinking these might be good?
Also, a few friends have broken wrists recently, and i've been thinking, would wrist supports like [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=3542 ]these[/url] help to reduce the risk of that?
Thats a roost protector so unless your riding behind a motocross bike it isn't going to do you any favors....
J uses the 661 wrist wrap pro and it's saved his wrist on many occasion. It's fairly sturdy but it's good.
no wrist supports dont stop breakages. they support your wrists when sprained etc
I use the 661 Wrist Wrap as I broke my right wrist a number of years ago, so just use it for support and a bit of confidence. Great bit of kit, good value and does the job. Easy to wash too!
I use the 661 wrist support - the biggest one they do as I broke my scaphoid back in May. Gives me a bit of confidence and I reckon it will help a bit in a stack. Problem is in under 2 months riding it's already a bit knackered and one of the plates has split out under the palm. Was hoping for better tbh
ok, well my wrists are fine so far... was just wondering if there was anything that might help... bieing an electrcian, a broken wrist would be a preety bad injury for me...
any suggestons for a lightweight chest and back protector then? i have a dianese upper body thing for dh riding but it seems a bit overkill sometimes.
back protector=camelback (blow back into it as you drink to keep it inflated 🙂
The 661 core saver is probably as light as you're going to get whilst still providing some useful protection, not sure I'd want to do much XC in one though http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=9569
