Hey i have the sixsixones full leg which covers the nee. but i dont want the annoying nee part… could i just cut it off the sew it up?? has anyone done this??? any other ideas??
thanks
why would you want to get rid of the knee part? thats the part I hit most. if you want just shin guards use soccor ones then you still have 661s if you still want them or if you want to sell them
I actualy find the knee part a bit ineffective at the knee. I have done alot of damage to my knee despite them, they protect well from small things but you get a frame to the knee cap and your still limping for some time.
If you want to just cut it you could probably sew it back up then heat it up and I think it will sort of melt the way shoelaces do sometimes.
i wouldnt do it… just go to some yard/garage ssales. they usually have soccer shin gaurds
yeah, i have changed my mind for now, i am not going to cut them… cuz they probally save me alot and i just take them for granted…
That is exactly what I did. I couldnt bend my knee as freely as I wanted so I cut the knee part off and sewed it back up. I transplanted a strap to the top and its worked perfectly for like a year.
The shin guards save me from pedals, the knee parts save me from rocks and asphalt…
I bet that if cut them off, your gonna wreck and hit your knee =p that seems like how it works =p
if you cut it you’ll regret it later.
I dont like my 661 4x4, they hurt my knees, since i’m allready injured this hurts a lot!
I ride with a pair of soccer shinguards instead… protects my ancles much better, aren’t nearly as warm, and they keep my pedals away from my shins…
tho big minus is that they ont protect my calf… wearing long trousers makes it all the same though…
I’ve been thinking about cutting my 661s down for the shorts-season…
A while left though…
I have to wear my 661’s with the logo facing in, other wise they chafe the inside of my knees… But they’re worth their weight in gold I think
