Post by: FattusCattus on June 04, 2013, 07:45:27 PM: if that's the same ones I got from Kieron (that Pedals is now using) they are absolute stonkers - if someone posts a pic, I'll confirm.

Post by: Bulldog Cricket on June 04, 2013, 07:58:27 PM: Yes matching gloves as well for £30. Pics on our website.

Fattus - think you may have had the sample pads ? but may be wrong

Post by: PedalsMcgrew on June 04, 2013, 08:10:13 PM: I couldn't tell you what model of Bulldog pads I'm using (they came from the Fattus's hoard, cheers mate!) but I can highly recommend them. Nice and light, smallish top hat, at least compared to my other pads, they wrap around really well and give all the protection you could want. I'm delighted with them. Best thing I can say is that I bought them thinking I would sell them on and ended up keeping them for myself as my main set of pads.

They look similar to the Spirit pads on the website but have little bits of silver on the wings...
