KH leg armor

I have a number or shin and knee guards from years of mountain biking,
but none of them cover the calf enough to protect from peddle bite. I
have only been able to locate KH leg guards in a small at unicycle.com
and I need an extra large.

Anybody know where to buy KH's as he does not seem to sell direct from
his website?

This is the Canadian version of UDC. Maybe they have some larger sizes
in stock

I have nothing against the KH pads (In fact, I've never tried them) but
I found the same thing with my Roach pads, that the mesh across the
back was fine for flat terrain pedal bites, but came nowhere near to
the protection needed when a foot slips off the pedal on a steep
downhill.

What I ended up doing to remedy the situation was sacrifice (one half
of) an old neoprene shin guard, strip off the velcro, and then I lay
that across the back of my leg under the mesh. So far I've only been
able to really truly "test" it a couple times, but it's definitely an
improvement over the stock mesh.

I comment mostly because you mention a stock of existing leg pads that
haven't worked for you... perhaps you have the ingredients to try some
frankenpads before you shell out for a set of KH.

You can give them a call at 1-800-584-4530 or 503-233-2577

(no financial interest, just a satisfied customer)

That's an awesome idea for some extra protection, thanks!
