Take a good look at the picture below before reading:

Now, here's my issue. Whenever I run or sometimes even walk, the inner bars (which stick out towards eachother at a slight angle) collide on occasion. Is this normal or do I need to adjust the bars a little to make them more streamline?

It's normal, you just need to learn to walk with your legs slightly wider apart :)
-
Set up the cuffs so they are comfy. If you moved them then you would be off balance ;) As sprog said you have to walk with your legs a little further apart than normal but with practice and some time on them you won't need to think about doing it.

Alrighty cool. Real quick question guys, the muscle strings in the back of my knee (the ones that become prominent when you bend it) seem to get cut into by the calf cuff, does that mean it's too high?

Slightly, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Shift the bars up and down to a point where you find it most comfortable and secure

These are the ends of the muscles that bend your leg, they go around the outside of the top of your calf muscles and attach to the Tibia, big lower leg bone. :CGEEK:
I had the same pain when i first put my cuffs on so lowered it so the top was just below them, on the top of the calf muscle and they are a lot better now. :Cyes:

I run with them. Just a couple miles, that's alternating between walking and running though.
