Was taking the mick out myself for saying "don't like seeing ppl hurt".

As before, I like the design of the TCX. The SMX though I did look at, but the side bits seemed just impact protection, rather than the hinge the pictures implied might be there. Tried them on, though, comfy.

The Greeks have a nice saying/reply when someone gets something new,
"With health" - i.e. May you enjoy it with health for many years to come.

Really good to know. Was really tempted to get the vertigo's myself, but when I could fold them 90deg inwards (not outwards, at least), I was put off. Just wished they had the bracing going up BOTH sides, as the inner side didn't link up, for some reason.

(PS. Wanted one of the Halo suits, but can't afford. Frustrating. Good deal)

 

Re: Re: Boots

What you can't bend you ankles like that. that's why you can't get your knee down

 

Are those blue silk bed sheets?

 

Or pajamas??

 

Good stuff, they are nice boots Ste :up:

 

Glad you are happy with them Steffy.

 

Think im gonna go for some Sidi ST's.

265 quid though

 

ive had cheapos and then sidi vertigo which were ok ish then had alpinestars smx plus (very comfy) now i have just bought puma hypersports which have a built in ankle brace if im honest theyre a pig to get on and off and the left one squeeks when i walk in them and i keep missing the gear lever too but having said that they feel quite comfortable and very safe to wear so id give them a 9 the a stars an 8 and the sidis a 7 and the cheapos id give to the bin man

 

Just in case anyone is still interested. I have the daytona evo sports. However, given that the insert is just hard plastic I really don't see how they are comparable to top of the range A * and Dainese, etc

 

Little bit of oil will set you right
Happens with all the hinged ones.

Hope you enjoy the Pumas.
Agree that when new, about as much a pig as A* Supertechs.
You can get used to them quickly, though.

Even quicker to get on & off if you had the 1st version, where the back / calf bit breaks off & you leave the lace un-done.

 

I have a pair of Supertech R's and I find the lever needs to be moved up a little to compensate for them. Must be down to the extra boot inside them. Is this easily done?

The boots themselves are great. Super comfy and great ventilation. Wore them on a ride around Snowdonia at the weekend. All day in the sun and my feet were sweat free and comfy as you like!

£229 is a great price too as they were £300!
