Knee braces
« on: September 05, 2007, 09:05:36 PM »
It's been years since I've had to get a set so what would be the best knee braces to buy without having to be physically measured and fitted for some. :-\

The best ones are a measured fit.

I wear a set of the Cti custom made braces and they are the best thing I ever bought. I was forever injuring my knees and was alway sore - even when I wasnt riding. Since I've had the braces I have not had one knee injury and this has given my knees a chance to recover to the point where I have no pain in my knees at all.  I also find the braces to be more comfortable than the knee guards I use to wear. The Cti braces come with two sets of sleeves to wear under them and these are comfortable and stop any chafing. I trail ride a lot where I am wearing them all day and I dont even notice them and it only took a couple of rides to get used to them. My son also has a pair and he even using them snowboarding.  All in all - a lot of money but well worth it. Get a price on a knee reconstruction, not to mention the time off work and all of a sudden they seem really cheap.

Oooh not sure what surfers arse is you may have to see a specialist in that area or maybe get a cream for it ! Sounds Nasty. But yeah they are good for all day or weekend rides and even when it is hot .

Monty,
 As a side note, take your boots along and try a few, as some might not allow you to do your boot back up once fitted.
Nothing more expensive than having to buy a new pair of boots to fit your new pair of knee braces......................acutally there are a lot of things more expensive, like a LEATT neck brace for instance, or a YZ250a, or a plumbers hourly rate, but these are all issues i need to talk through with my therapist.
