Zogly Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 I have all of the basic safety gear needed to get started and ride safely, with the exception of elbow guards. I've invested in a set of double-sided Flexmeters, but now can't seem to find elbow pads/guards that won't interfere with them. (I have 5 1/2-6 inches of space from the center of my elbow to the end of the d30's) The options that MIGHT work tend to be elasticy sleeves that people seem to have trouble keeping in place. (Or that slide up on impact and can't do their job.) So far the only possibility I've seen mentioned in another post are the POC joint VPD 2.0 elbow pads, but for that price I might as well buy a set of small Leatt dual-axis knee pads and use them for my elbows. (As another user has shown is possible.) I suppose a used biker jacket/some padded BMX clothing would also be close to viable in that ballpark. In summary, what are you other D30 Flexmeter users using for your elbows? Let's consolidate the options that work. Thanks in advance.

yoos Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I use the Leatt 3DF 6.0 elbow guards. They do interfere with the flexmeters but not in a bad way, rather like puzzle pieces: the semi-hard shell of the elbow guards fits between the plates of the wrist guard. This limits rotational freedom of the arm, but only slightly, you can still hold objects, use your phone, grab a pole etc. In other words this combo works and doesn't bother me any more than the flexmeter does on its own. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
