I've been struggling to find knee pads that fit properly, and keep having to send stuff back to the internet. I live in North Kent and haven't found any shops in the area with a decent range in stock to try on. Can anyone reccomend a good shop locally with a reasonable selection? I'm after either 661, IXS, Raceface, or similar.

Cheers.

    Have you used the sizing guides on the various manufactures' web sites? I used the sizing guide on the 661 site for both myself and my 8 year old daughter and our pads are a perfect fit.

    Alpine bikes are everywhere, while not a good shop they usually have a selection you can try on.

    I haven't seen an alpine bikes before, I'll have a look on google. I've measured my legs against all of the pads I've ordered, I could wear them but they're not ideal. It's probably as much that the pad isn't quite right as the size, that's why I want to try some on to compare before I buy.

    All the stores listed on their website are in Scotland. Kent is in the south of England. Thanks anyway.

    Whoops! They're everywhere in Scotland! Missed the kent bit. Halfords sometimes have pads...
