Anyone got a recommendation? Little fella is 9 - loves biking, has a cheapo set of plastic BMX pads, which are pretty worn out now.
Would like to get him something more comfy - but he's growing like crazy, so don't want to spend the earth .
XS adult elbow pads was the recommendation I picked up from here recently. works pretty well.
Fox peewee titan
I've a set of Fox youth knee and elbow pads, I think in medium.
I can do much cheapness...
honourable George , I think ive got some 661 knee and elbow pads that will fit a 9 yr old , they are like new , boy had them for about 4 weeks before he decided to take a massive growth spurt , you can have them for a small donation to west mids air ambulance or buxton mountain rescue , (both were a great deal of help when I had a really bad fall whilst climbing ) let me know and ill try and dig them out if the wife hasn't got rid of, back on shift tomorrow till Friday so wont be able to post until early next week
just found them knee and elbow ,if your interested let me know and I may be able to get them out to you today
check out CRC, they have some youth knee pads that should fit.
If the OP doesn't want either set being offered then I know a couple of little Listers who would love to donate to the air ambulance or send their pocket money to mattoutandabout!
Please let me know...sorry to hijack!
hi lister will give op some time to get in touch , if he dosent want them your more than welcome to them ,never have a problem giving stuff away as long its going where it will be enjoyed and if your young ones are like mine this damn hobby will cost a fortune in a few yrs with growth spurts
For everyone but the lucky donator to the air ambulance ..
Jnr's Fox Youth are fantastic... they have been very extensively tested on hard and pointy rocks many many times and aren't too un-comfy.
He's a biggish 7/8 and still using S/M and will be for a while... I'd definitely buy again.
Mr lister they are yours if your still interested, I will get them out to you on sat if you can pm your address , before you make a contribution make sure they fit and you are happy , if not just pay them forward to someone who needs them and get them to make a small contribution.
cheers
