[#4396398]

after lenghty hunting and just missing the boat with chain reactions sale, there don't seem to be any left in the whole of Britain!

Trying to work out if they are discontinued or anyone know if there's a 2013 version just round the corner?

What size are they davosaurusrex? If PolisherMan doesn't want them / can't fit them I could be interested.

M/L which if you're over 12 years old is the size you'll want. Will give polisherman first dibs as it's his thread. Off to bed now as my kids are making me sleep deprived but I'll check this thread in the morning.

I must say the fox pads are very nice, good fit and protection plus you can wear them on longer rides without discomfort (unless you get a load of grit down inside them, which then hurts like a mother)

They were hard to find when I got mine ~8 months ago, never seems to be much stock of them for some reason.

I've a pair of Launch Pro - small/medium I've used a handful of times I'd consider selling.

Nothing wrong with then, just prefer not to wear pads. Are they really that small sized? I'm a fairly average medium in most things and was in these and they never felt tight.

@neninja - if you want to measure just above your kneecap and I'll do the same, then we can compare notes?

(so to speak...)

I cut the back out of my small/mediums to make them a great fit.

I'm not sure if the bike factory actually have any stock becuase my order hasn't been updated. In the meantime I've ordered a set from Action sports.de, because they actually have some, but only in small/medium. If the bike factory do have some and they turn up then I'll just send them back.
