The review linked from that page is mixed. One quote: "there is no
protective fabric on the leg pads to cover your calves, so the straps
rub against your skin and cause irritation".

The irritation is one thing, but the thin fabric at the rear side of
661's also offers a surprising amount of protection against pedal
bites. Wouldn't want to give up on that.

For me, during MUni with the 661's, most crashes are at low speed and
sliding down (and exposing knee) is not so much of an issue - at least
it never happened to me.

I appreciate that you did distance with them, which is different. I've
seen a recommendation to use "bare" hard shell knee protectors for
distance. They would slide on the road rather than down your knees.

I bought a pair about 3 years back to try them out. They arrived and were way too skinny for my legs (I was in decent shape, so it was walking and uni-muscle). I returned them for the next size up and they were the same. I returned those and never got a refund, so MEC got crossed off the list.

By 'Patch Kit', do you mean driving away with all my footage, video equipment, helmet, jacket, and gloves?

No, that is not what I mean. I mean for the patch on your memory to forget all your crap in my car.

Ladies, Ladies!! Stop this bickering. We know it was Joel's fault.

DanLee · 2006-02-16, 04:15 PM

Last ride was awesome. I really hope i can make this one. If something comes up then i will arrange a college "visit" to stony brook university, and use that as my excuse to muni.

unicyclepa · 2006-02-23, 01:41 AM

i want to try to make it to this one to

shibumi · 2006-03-11, 04:18 AM

So this is less than a month away. Who's going? We got our first touch of warm weather here today. It's been a while, and I got in some much needed practice around the hood. I can't wait to get back on the trails again. I know Adam is chomping at the bit to ride, after his injury. Actually I think he started riding? Let him tell us.

So like I said.......who's coming out??

DanLee · 2006-03-21, 02:52 AM

Looks like me and my brother and possibly my friend. Hows the weather looking?

shibumi · 2006-03-21, 05:00 AM

Too soon to tell? Glad you'll be making it. All you guy's on the ferry with Uni's? Take some pictures of that.

JustOneWheel · 2006-03-24, 02:01 PM

If you like trials you'll love this FUN SPOT!!

Even if you don't like trials there are some awesome tall dirt mounds to play on!

See you all next week!!

Adam
