Thanks Greg for organising the bulk purchase the effort is appreciated and I’m busting to get to the time I can finally get to use them.

Looking for some help from someone though

---

Got my braces today and they look the goods but f me the instruction manual must win an award for the worst product user guide ever created. Weird line drawings with no annotation of any relevant form. So far It appears I need to slash my pants at one stage and stick some accessory foam pads somewhere on the brace. With so many of us buying these has anyone got an intelligible document we can use to fit and adjust them properly. All help welcome.

Mine came in yesterday as well

Thanks to all involved…….

Cheers Andy for the you tube link on how to fit them……I was also lost on the instructions (I thought it had something to do with the amount of beer I had drunk) :whistle: :whistle:

Ok so I think its official the supplied instructions are crap.. You would think for the price they would include a how to DVD. Just like that Clive palmer bloke had done in recent weeks 😆 😆

anyway im happy with the way mine are ajusted i belive the boot should be enough to stop the brace from rotating around on my leg. So i won’t be using the tether strap.plus i don’t want to drill a $400 boot and$100 pants. Just my thoughts

HI Andy,
I havent drilled my boots or cut my pants either, I cant see them moving.
I cant get mine to move without boots on and the boots only hold them tighter.

I have been wearing asterisk braces for 6 years and never drilled holes and they have never moved

Hi White Rocket,
Mine fit under my pants better than the thor force knee guards I was using.
They look bulky but once you have them adjusted they fit really well and aren’t that bulky at all.

i ordered some today thanks andy and trailrider for the responses at the group buy price thanks for organising it TB

Another good reason to have knee braces – surgeon cleared me to start riding again from October if I wear the braces and don’t go stupid. So it will have to be one out of two and ill wear the braces. Octobers a way better outcome than January if no braces.

my braces saved me from a little off on parachute hill>> first time I have come down on my knee and im pleased I had that protection there it still hurt like hell but no where near as bad as it would have been…

just a few little adjustments from my end needed and all sould be good ,,,,
