Gray Nicolls Legend pads faulty?
« on: October 14, 2013, 11:02:05 AM »

Hi guys. Just found this sight when looking for the 2014 GN stuff and thought I'd ask
A quick question. I've bought some legend pads (thought they were a bargain) but on trying them on on if
I put my knee in the correct place the bottom half of the pad seems
Twisted right towards my instep and it I put the bottom half straight
My knee isn't in the right place. Are they faulty?

sounds a bit odd.

I think we need to see some pictures!!

My pads do that and they're not faulty. Are you sure your wearing them on the right leg? I guess they wrap around slightly to the direction of delivery to cover more of the front ankle?

Both pads are identical so it doesn't seem as if 1 is designed different for leading leg.
I Also thought they might be angled to face the direction of delivery to, but somehow they just don't seem right with the bottom half turned away from the delivery.
Think they might be going back and I'll wait for next years model or try the oblivion's.
I'll try and upload some photos
Appreciate the responses guys.

They are not in line, the top hat is twisted and set back so that they do not run in symmetry [parallel] and the top hat has never sat exactly the same in every pad

They also don't have the extra protection strip in he bolster like most pads. They may be a luxury pad but in truth, I don't think they are very good at all.
