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

Ive never had any trouble till I started going to the gym more and tryed bocking in shorts, It was in Oman when they 1st did it, and I still have a scar, the hotel guys out there were ace, they even wanted a go, didnt try to stop me or anything!

I've taken the pads may nned to round top on plate ?
I'll try them out in morning.

Got me thinking about my "Juganauts". If my legs only just fits how can people with REAL big legs coupe $:-\$

hybrid_hex · « **Reply #11 on:** January 27, 2008, 10:03:54 AM »

Looks like a plan! I might just have to do this!

Dark Knight · « **Reply #12 on:** January 27, 2008, 11:04:30 AM »

I've just looked and the back of my calfs and there's a little bruises $:-\$
I'll try it padless today !?

Dark Knight · « **Reply #13 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 ?

Spud · « **Reply #14 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

I see...they look cool!

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.
