bruised/sore hamstrings

[zio]

Have you ever heard of anyone complain of this? Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but my knees hurt every time I wear my braces. I'm the only one I know of who doesn't like their Asterisks, so I wonder if I'm just lucky :think:

Zio, we weren't even thinking. I should have had you put your braces on at Reno and then I could have told you if you were putting them on the wrong leg, upside down :laugh: or helped you adjust them. Do you have the thin or thick pads? Have you tried both? The title of your post says sore hamstrings but your post says your knees hurt. Is it both?

Both. The actual joint hurts, but I recon that's a result of three days of whoops, not the braces. The hamstrings are actually injured from the braces, and the inside "point" of the knee joint, but that's just on the surface.

Stand by1 Mister.

No big deal, Billy. :) I posted this in here to see if I'm the only one who is sore after a ride with the braces. I ask everyone I see wearing Asterisks if they like them, the unanimous response is "yes". The only complaint anyone ever has is of chaffing, which is the case with any brace. I'm starting to think it's just me.

My braces put a hole in the tendons that run on the inside of your knee, i dont know what they are called but i rubbed the skin right raw everytime i rode untill i figured out how to keep them tight and adjusted properly.
