cranks and ankles

[insanepuff]

hey guys
anyone got any tips for how to stop hitting your ankles on the cranks, Its whenever I do a disaster or 180 I always hit my ankle just under the bone. should I just wear ankle guards?
cheers

you could try using an ankle brace those strechy ones that you can by from the chemist they work pretty well

 

[Ziggy]

You could try some mid or high top shoes?

could you get flusher mounting end bolts for your cranks because on my old bike i used too smash my ankles now on my new one with flush bolts iv never hit them once

maybe get a pair of high top shoes like 510's i have the same problem with the profile cranks i have...

I used to have the same problem - I wear a set of We The People ankle gaurds, they are like one of those gasket things but with a plastic cup that covers your ankle.

Can't remember what they cost (bought them like 4 years ago) but it wasn't super dear at the time. I rode without them the other day and regretted it big time
