I've been bashing my shins more often recently so thinking of getting some shin protection. I already have POC VPD knee pads, so was thinking of just getting some shin pads.

Would anyone recommend just getting shin pads to go with my knee pads or buying all in one knee/shin pads? Any particular pads recommended?

I have pretty chunky calf muscles so would need pads that are adjustable or come up big.

What have you been bashing your shins on?
Pedals? ...I went to SPD's to stop this happening 😉

TBH unless you go full on DH pads, I think you'll struggle to locate pads that cover both. I know G-form do a set, but they do look quite special

Race face Flank leg guards. I got them after I got 12 stitches in my shin. 510s have helped keep my feet on the pedals. still feel better with them on though.
