Title: Calf pads ?
Post by: Dark Knight on January 26, 2008, 07:37:16 PM: If you haven't notice the calf pad can be turned up side down.
If you find that it rubs the back of your leg then you could always try turning it the other way up.
Just loosen the front two bolts ( note where the washer goes ) and the pad just slots in .

Now saying that there is one other option which remove the pad all together !?
There's nothing moving behind it so I think there's no problem ( so I've been told ) ?

I can't see adding extra pading would be helpful as it would bend your leg the wrong way !?

I have big calfs and the pad cuts into my legs so need the room ;D

Title: Re: Calf pads ?
Post by: Dark Knight on January 27, 2008, 04:45:13 PM: It's looks odd but feels better.
Maybe I'll add foam to give some support to the calf ?
Title: Re: Calf pads ?
Post by: Spud on January 27, 2008, 06:34:26 PM: My legs dont touch the foam so maybe you dont need the support...just used to it

Post by: zendalfire on January 27, 2008, 11:53:31 PM: I think I see your problem.
As TundraH noticed, your knee pad is way too thick. (Are those baseball pads?)
I would suggest using another type of pad.
Personally, I use volleyball/wrestling knee pads. They are much more comfy, and the type I found have a groove that perfectly fits the knee bar and keeps them in place.
First type seen here:
