Member Contributer teleskier Posted April 27, 2006 Member Contributer Share Posted April 27, 2006 Just got my new leather suit but even though its fantastic, it did not have knee pucks. Where can I buy pucks with the velcro for attachment to my knees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about anywhere that sells leathers if you want brand name. Newenough has JR, Kneedraggers has most popular brands, eBay has a few brand names, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using them for a while and they're holding up quite well.....lots of pavement action with lots of puck left :pissed: They're also pretty affordable if I remember correctly :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need titanium plated knee pucks - the gold ones don't spark, but the titanium ones leave a very pretty trail of sparks behind them! Hey tele - you seem to be spend a lot on bits'n'bobs and farkles and gear and spares lately - didja win the lotto or summat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We nail ours to our knees. But we don't have ice hockey here (actually, we probably do, but it makes my story better if I say we don't) so we use offcuts of 2x4. Wood is better, and more environmentally friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only are you being more friendly to the environment, but you're saving yourself a trip to the hospital by installing your own pins during your getoff! :P :beer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
