it would be simpler and quicker just to sell the lycra bits as spares)
Unless it turned out the lycra bits including the the non- slip coating, measurement, cutting and stitching was the bulk of the cost compared to the impact protection bit.
Love mine. I’ve got some Ion hardshell pads I selected out of 7 sets I stuck on the credit card. picked the comfiest sent the rest back. I originally ordered 3, but though, sod it, in for a penny, in for a pound, let’s try them all and make sure.
They’re still comfy, but just Uplift Comfy, not Each and Every Trail Ride Comfy, if you know what I mean. Heard good things about the Rapha pads on here, reviews read elsewhere said the same, bought them in the same. Bought them. worn them every ride since.
Big stack the other day, wrote off my helmet, concussion, 3 hours in A&E, cracked rib, tweaked shoulder. Didn’t really hit my knees, so can’t comment on the pads!
