G-day,
I got a big problem, after ripping my cruciate ligament and surgery last week, I now need a knee brace. Most of knee braces i have seen in the www. are for mx and seem pretty stiff. An importent criteria; is that it has to have somekind of safety catch at 90 degrees, so that my plastic doesn't rip again.
Can anyone recommend a Brace for dirt or downhill.

Cheers!!!

Sorry to hear 'bout the surgery but at least you've still got it all there. ;)

I'm not sure about the 90 degree lockout thing but you've got to take a serious look at Astrisk. These are the absolute bomb. Freaking bombproof really. They are not cheap by any stretch of the imagination but as you know a blowout is not cheap either. :nono:

Good luck.
