October 15, 20187 yr So I embedded a pedal pin so badly into my shin bone the pin itself snapped. This was 3 weeks back. Rest of shin healed up fast but that pin hit went to then bone (and some). Taking a long time to heal out that thickness Question , are there lightweight solutions . I don't really want full downhill shin pads or football etc. Something much lighter and suppler would work and be less intrusive Any ideas ?

October 15, 20187 yr Author How on earth did you get a pedal pin in your shin?!?!? Slipped off pedal (poor shoes) and cranks span , foot on floor, pedal in shin ! Photo taken just now. Three weeks to the day. Rest of scraping and cuts long gone ... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

October 15, 20187 yr there crank bros ones so work different just stamp in and twist off so no setting up needed
October 15, 20187 yr Ouch! You'll need a bit less than cricket wicket keeping pads - but decent footie shin pads should suffice/mitigate against recurrence as they are designed to at least keep out incoming studs. http://www.rikoset.co.uk/design-lab/ It could be an expensive hobby as probably best to replace everytime you repeat accident.

October 15, 20187 yr Slipped off pedal (poor shoes) and cranks span Surely not wearing poor shoes is the simplest answer But seriously I wear these for maximum pedal grip https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/122218651918?ul_ref=http%253A%252F%252Frover.ebay.com%252Frover%252F1%252F710-53481-19255-0%252F1%253Ftype%253D2%2526pub%253D5575403537%2526toolid%253D10001%2526campid%253D5338343596%2526item%253D122218651918%2526customid%253Dvms%253Aeb%253Ap%253A122218651918%253BCj0KCQjw9ZDeBRD9ARIsAMbAmoY7XnZRRs0N8gq-0iIgRGdBKwAi6FKDptKrOMGhh_NjpnJRiZ-ErDUaAnv1EALw_wcB%2526gclid%253DCj0KCQjw9ZDeBRD9ARIsAMbAmoY7XnZRRs0N8gq-0iIgRGdBKwAi6FKDptKrOMGhh_NjpnJRiZ-ErDUaAnv1EALw_wcB%2526srcrot%253D710-53481-19255-0%2526rvr_id%253D1705399529197%2526rvr_ts%253D7978be431660ad792bc58440fffae983&ul_noapp=true

October 15, 20187 yr https://www.ergotec.de/en/products/pedale/sub/city-trekking-pedale/produkt/ep-1.html Never slipped once since I mounted these, jandals, bare foot, waders, dress shoes... Before these years ago I had the bog standard MTB pedal and bloody shins. Now you may not want to try those pedals off road I did have pedal strike a couple of times in corners on the 26" bike they are so huge
October 16, 20187 yr there tiny lol even my cb clip less peddles are bigger than that.:eek: Yeh, but I got teeny tiny feet, my growth energy went elsewhere.

October 16, 20187 yr Author Not being a footballist of any kind I did not know shin pads have evolved to lightweight inside a sock I shall try this, or something similar https://www.prodirectsoccer.com/products/Nike-Mercurial-Lite-Shin-Guard-Accessories-Shinpads-SP2086010-Black-Volt-Black-135487.aspx?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9Zj6rOeK3gIV5zLTCh02sA4fEAkYECABEgKRW_D_BwE Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
October 19, 20187 yr Author First ride out with new shoes , very happy and they were damn pricey but brilliant and appear built to last a long time If a bit of ankle support is also you thing (like me ) these are the business https://www.scotbycycles.co.uk/97/products/five-ten-freerider-high-mountain-biking-shoes--blackkhaki.aspx?currency=GBP&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI34nxn--S3gIVJbXtCh28PgRyEAQYAyABEgKTjPD_BwE Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
