[Closed] Elbow Pads

[#1951548]

I have damaged my elbow and have been advised that it would be prudent to wear some elbow protection (on the bike) for the next few months. I don't ride anywhere particularly gnarly so they won't get too much use after the damage has been repaired.

Any suggestions for reasonably priced and comfortable pads?

Hey Jo - where you going with that pound in your hand ?
I'm going to the pound shop to get me elbow pad, deng deng de dennng !

Yep, certain £1 shops sell Slazanger (is that spelt right ?) elbow pads. Being as you'll dump them in a short while I would check out your local bargain provider. If not, go to a boot sale....

I have the 661 Veggie and the 661 DJ elbow pads, and usually prefer the DJ ones now.

I got mine for about the same price as they are on sale here...

They're light, comfy and stay in place - unlike the Veggies which often end up round my wrists on a long descent.

The Slider it isn't so much for support as protection against knocks etc.

cha****ng - I guess I'd be large or XL depending on how they are sized.

But they are ONLY for protection not support anyway. Shame, I only sold some at a boot sale the other day. Think I got my money back...Typical, you could have had those !
