Thanks for the info. About straps - I changed them two times on my Dual Axis. Find good quality strong straps in a sewing/fabric store (and velcro), then go to a cloth repair boutique (and make sure they take the correct measurements to have additional space to tighten them after a few months when they will loosen again).

Make sure that your feet can fall out of the pedal and pads in case of a crash. If you are locked in too tight, you might twist your knee instead. I love my Leatt dual axis, they have saved my knees so many times now 😀

Excellent points indeed, thank you 👌 That's the reason I use squishy pads for offorading as I can easily twist my heel out of the pedals no matter how tightly they fit me 🙌 I have bought the leatt z frame and testing them out against the dual axis as they are more protective while keeping a low profile. The main issue is that z frame take so much longer to put on and off 😅

I have heard opinions that the Z-frames are not real knee braces just a version of knee guard. Thanks for the video, been considering getting X-Frames for a while now myself did you order online? I am planning to go in person even though that might be hundreds of kilometres away in order to have the fit right. Could you please mention the height from pedal to the top of your EUC? I have an S18, so I hope the hinge won't be a problem, another reason to go in person I guess. Thanks!

Hey! So sorry for the late reply. I had a week full of events but my master mobo fried and had to change plans and take the wheel to fix. Unfortunately, I cannot measure it as of yet but will do as soon as I get the master back 👍 Yes, you are correct the z frames are the least protective braces between the x and c frames but they do gain points in wearability as they don't have the knee pad sticking out as much. Unless you go for the x frame hybrid version which in turn offers less knee impact protection. Atm I am having medial hinge rubbing issues with my z frames which bothers me sometimes and my movements feel more restricted compared to when using my dual axis. I am still taking a bit more time to try them before reviewing them. Ultimately I hope to save enough soon to try the c frames which have no medial hinge but still robust enough to protect from impacts and torsional forces. Yes, trying the knee braces in preson would be the best option, as it would help not only to choose which ones u might prefer but also to get the right size and feel. Hope it helps, and I ll get back to you with the measurement 🙌

@@alexiszakariene thanks a ton for your reply! I asked the height because I ride the S18, and if it less tall then your wheel I will mentally still be sure about the X-frames, while writing this it strikes me that maybe leg length is also a factor, so, given this additional factor, it's fine even if you don't share the pedal to top height; I'll go in person to try them out, that could be a multi-day EUC trip, but quite an adventure I reckon! Thanks a lot for your reply

@rishi-m Sure, my pleasure 🙌 Let me know how it goes 👍 and hopefully I ll get back my master in 3 / 4 weeks time for the measurement 🤞
