superstar pedals
superstar make them in lincoln uk
kona relable them sell them as kon wah wah
im guessing nuke proof also relable them
so far well chuffed with superstar pedals 17mm thick compared to my old pedals ones were 25 mm thick
the pedals feel really smooth
i never worry about shin strikes with decent metal studs and soft soled trainers/ shoes my feet never really slip off
will post a proper review after decent muni ride tonight
In my 5 years of muni I’ve only ever worn a helmet and Camelbak for protection. I’ve probably nicked my shins a few times, but pedal bite on my calves is more common, though only bad enough to point out one or two times a year. Even if I had my worst pedal bite once a year, it’s not worth the bother of pads. Skin heals and I like the free tattoos. 
~10 miles daily for a year so far, not used shin guards once. Some tough MUni, some road riding, lots of light XC. I do occasionally slip off my pedals (rarely) but I’ve never whacked my shins on them and never whacked my shins on obstacles/the ground either, so not too fussed about wearing pads.
I ride with shin guards, it helps feeling more confident.
Having said that, since I master several types of free mounting, I’ve never had a pedal strike. I used to get them in my early days of working out how to free mount and would often miss a pedal (grippy didn’t make a difference, if you miss a pedal, it gets you…)
Maybe I need to start wearing inner thigh guards. Do the make those?
Owwie… How is that even possible to do that?
Pedals did that?
If that happens often consider a groin guard next my friend!
So sorry i assume most riders are guys… I apologise… :o
Only realised once i viewed your other posts with your happy smiling face 
Haha no worries. Most riders ARE guys! 
My right food slipped off right before hitting a dip, so as I tried to run out of it I got caught in the dip and fell right into the pedal. Hard to explain. I was so close to getting it on camera though! I was only a foot or two away from the camera. 
are those leg protectors uncomfortable to wear and how often do they get used ?
Idk if this question is directed toward me. If not, ignore my answer. If so, they get hot but they mold to your physique so they’re nice IMO. I wear them on every ride. I got the POC VPD 2.0 shin/knee and elbow pads, but you can get the shin pads separate fm the knee if you want more coverage.
hi bwrightback
i was interested in getting some for hopping when im doing muni because thats when things normally go wrong

Where does the pedal usually hit you? I got the knee/shin combo bc I tend to fall on my knee a lot and my pedals tend to hit my upper shin more than anything. The combined combo has less shin protection than the shin-only guards, so if you hit your lower shin a lot I’d skip the shin/knee combo.
During last few years I was using my shin pads (I wear bulky knee pads due to my previous problems with knees) only when planning some really hard (for me) muni. I did most of my races without ones. And I got hit free up to one ride last year.
I was out to try some new paths at local muni place with some bikers and I had shin pads with me. I just took them off on uphill as it was too hot 
and of course my foot slipped and hit the pedal right then.
Nothing big but scare left and my wife is worrying each time I get hurt on uni, so I decided to ride with some now. I just changed my big plastic/neoprene pads to light g-form ones. Actually compared to my knee pads they are so light that I don’t feel them for most of the ride unless it is very hot.
All in all I agree that shin pads are crucial for muni, but if you feel more secure use some. And use light ones if you hit your shins rarely.
I wear shin guards as insurance. When I’m wearing them, nothing happens. When I don’t, I get bitten just by standing behind my uni and having the pedal roll back into me. Seriously; that has happened.
Ha ha. When I’m walking with the unicycle my shin sometimes hits the pedal. I wear shin guards so it doesn’t hurt.
hi
normally if i do get caught by pedals its the rear of my leg ,calf muscle that gets hit i will try to get a picture or video of it when it happens
Wow!?
Shins - understandable at times
Calves - ok rare and usually self inflicted
Thighs - ouch. Just ouch!
Knees… - bone and ligaments are painful
and like to take much time to repair
Can we look at the ‘why’ we are getting these areas injured. Are these due to user error?, pedals not great?, footwear not ideal?, lack of sleep?, feeling hungry !?!
Those not feeling need to wear shin guards, why not? I’m sure it’s not we’re too good or they get too hot, or slip down all the time… In the at least 2 years and many hours and km’s I don’t recall slipping off in a way or letting my uni roll into and make contact with my legs or ankles… I must be one of the lucky few but rest assured I never leave home without A nice UPD, hole in shirt or dirty elbows or shoulder while chasing the muni fairies. except for on the sealed roads. They are not so forgiving to a fall that can not be outrun …
Other than trials riding why do week collect shins on pedals ect? I’m sure the rate could be less with some five tens and nukeproof platforms but that can’t just be it can it
So you’re saying that other than chasing after a run-away uni, all of your falls and UPDs are graceful and controlled?
I don’t wear shin guards because I think they’d be hot.
I’ve wacked my shins a couple times, but like others have said, it’s usually when I’m walking with my Muni. Most of my UPD induced pedal injuries are to the calf.
But pedal injuries for the most part are pretty rare for me. I usually scrape my knee on the ground or something like that.
I don’t wear shin pads because I’ve never hurt my shins riding, fairly simple Most of my shin pain, as said above, comes from walking with the uni.
