thuse shinnies look unreal! you have to have the full fox kit for them to look their best though...
Apparently they work awesomely as well... just glue a bit of old tube or something over the pivots so they don't scratch ya frame when you're pedalling!

Yeah, let us know how they go cause I have heard two very different experience of them. One was that they were the bomb! Stayed on your shins like cobblers pegs. THe other is that they were the worst thing! Slid down just pedaling without an impact.

i went for a short ride just before. I'm one of those guys who has to wear shinnies under his pants, especially these as they hug ya legs and look weird on the outside of baggy pants.
So far so good. As my dad said, they look like something outta robocop :lol:

I was going to by the Raptors except they only come half way down your shin. I can see my scar from not wearing shinnies which couldn't be a good thing. :eek:
Mad looking though. Next ones down, Pivot aren't too shabby either!

You'll find most of your LBS's will have them at around 120. My only gripe with them is that being an MX guard they don't give full shin coverage.

I prefer that, cos a) I've never hit the very bottom of my shins anyway, and b) they don't try and sit over my socks!

Mate, just tuck em into your socks!

On a side note, if anybody has these guards, can you please do me a favour? I just need you to unbutton the lining at the top or bottom of the guard and see if there is any black foam padding stuck to the inside of the shell, or if it is just plain plastic. Cheers.
