New KH Leg Armor

Calling all 36ers - Lake Tahoe 03Jun07

@skilewis74

Do you have any dates? It’s road, right? How many miles?

The ride is on June 3, about 72 miles, but you can ride 100 miles like Nathan et.al. or less like John Foss. There are about a dozen unicyclists registered so far. Here’s the website:

There is also another thread started by Nathan here:

America's Most Beautiful Unicycle Ride 2007

Thanks to Irene, we just noticed that registration for the annual Lake Tahoe ride (America’s Most Beautiful Unicycle Ride) is now open. This typically fills up in a week or so since they only allow 3000 riders and for some reason they allow BIKES too. So Grace, Beau, Irene, Mike and I just took the big plunge and registered for the 100 mile option. This is around the lake (72 miles) plus a 14 mile out and back detour to Truckee. The ride is June 3 this year - don’t miss this if you like gorgeous…

I hope you can come!

I’ll probably get the KH armor when my 661’s wear out. I’m sure Kris made them better in virtually every aspect.

As to heat the back of the knee is clear for ventilation, so they should be COOLER not hotter than 661’s.

Do you have any dates? It’s road, right? How many miles?

Even if it is much cooler, I have gotten hit by pinned pedals in the back of the knee, and let me say I’m very glad I had 661 shinguards on. I need some protection back there, even if it is just something to prevent the pins from breaking skin.

I’ve almost gotten bites in the back of the knee from trying to turn too sharply before I could turn very well; I fell off the front and the unicycle went forward between my legs, and my leg got caught by the crank/pedal. Would have gone very badly if not for the shinguards.

to me they look a lot like the 661s. but with a different strap pattern and a bit more calf protection. I’d have to try them, see them in person to say anything more. But from the picture, i’ll stick with the cheaper 661s, especially because i can get those at wholesale, even at retail though i’m not sure it’d be worth the extra money.

u smart u didnt say any thing contiversial and stated that your opiniyon was from the pic.
in other words smart man:D

im retarded (somtimes )
