Bargain Crazy Thread

[RazerSauber]

Mine seem fine in that regards but I did have to go in with a pair of nail clippers and trim some plastic thread when I first got them! That being said, the pads are a touch low for my knees so I find myself pulling them up quite a lot. I'll have to look into pushing them further up permanently.

Revisiting the XL Moto gear that someone kindly put a link up a while back - did anyone else buy the jeans and have found a cure or has noticed for/the velcro knee armour holder rubbing on your legs. I changed the knee armour over to ones in my other jeans but soon enough it's doing it again.

Decent enough jeans and maybe a simple cure but annoying more so when walking as riding my position doesn't change much.

I cut a microfibre cloth in half and stitched it over the whole pad area, leaving the bottom unstitched so i can remove the armour. Neat job, took 30 minutes. Doesn't bunch up around your knees, and my crap needle work has held up well.

That being said, I did it when it was a lot colder, now its baking hot, knees get a bit warm when walking about.

I’m wearing mine now and have been all day at work, but not sure what you speak of?

It curls back abit exposing the bristles side if you don't carefully overlap them before fitting and then carefully slip on

I’ve not experienced any of that. I know there were a few different jeans flavours, maybe I got one of the others. These are my ‘daily’ as much as daily is in these awesome post-‘rona days, work trousers.

I've found that knee pads just don't stay in position in any textiles / jeans so wear Forcefield limb tubes (there are various types, mine are "graph")

I really rate them - and after crashing I didn't feel a thing, yet went through the knee of my kevlar jeans so they seem to work well

'Strap on'




Thanks for mentioning them.


I was wondering if one of those Moto Cross torso armour vests could be worn under a normal coat or jacket.

That's the later ones I think, mine are just like a heavy stocking (if that's any better )

If your jacket is big enough you can -several of my off-road group, wear them on the road

Thanks for the replies. I bought the Course Jones jeans.

Have been out after trying to simply put a large plaster over it and it was much more comfier. It even held off a rain shower which is nice to know. Will also look at the other suggestions as well. Thanks all.

I found your armoured leg tube online and then after I'd posted clicked on the link for the Forcefield product range and they do such torso armour.

Some serious discounts there

[--Cappo--]

Just got an email from Visordown, there's 57% off some stuff at Louis Moto.

Example: HELD RACE-EVO II 51910 1-PIECE RACE SUIT was £1330, now £557 Obv being an EU site you would have to know that it fitted first, but still.

There's non-clothing stuff as well.

Maybe of use to Royal Enfield owners. RE are bringing UK distribution in-house, so the current distributor (MotoGB) are having a sale:

With the new ECE 26 helmet standards coming in this year there'll probably be a big sale everywhere on the old existing standard

[HybridTheory]

Picked up a couple of tee shirts down from a colossal £45 each to a tenner and various other things for sale and when I got to checkout postage was free aswell

I'm counting on it.

My Shark is a 22:06, but hoping some of the 22:05 Arai and Shoei models might drop below £200.

Is there a time limit on when the old standard helmets can be sold or do they stop being accepted on track?
