Anybody ever wear one of these while cycling (road)? I need something that will especially not grind away at the back of my knee.

I have not yet worn this while riding but I have worn it for 13 hrs on 2 consecutive days and not felt like it was uncomfortable or cutting off circulation or anything.. The way they do the stitching on the back of the knee seems to make it not bunch as much. Now, the other day I sat in a low chair with no leg room and that wasn't comfortable (I'm 6'2" so my legs were very bent). I had to pull it off. Other than that, no problems. I think it would work great for cycling. Give me a week and I'll probably have taken it out on a ride. In any case, I don't think u can go wrong. It's about as comfortable a brace as I've ever had. Way better than the neoprene ones I've had.

It does pinch behind knee a little with normal wear Would probably not work for cycling.

No but have hiked up steep mountains with step and boulders, etc. and have not had an issue.

Somewhat awkward, because you have to spread your knees. I avoid rides more than 5-6 miles for this reason-it kills my knees. But I love having him on front (and this is the only seat that fit on my bike, front or back).

I'm very sensitive to circulation issues, and the Bauefeind Genutrain is fantastic in that regard if you size it per their instructions. I wear it to play pretty competitive table tennis with a lot of pivoting and footwork , and frankly, I forget I have it on. I have worn a number of smaller knee bands that are far more restrictive. I highly recommend the Genutrain if restricted circulation is a concern.

I bought a gell seat cover off of amazon that was fit to the product. Now when I ride I am too tall in the saddle. If I lower it then it hurts the knees from being to low. I give up on this product. Its just not something I could pedal comfortably for more then 20 minutes

I tried J. B. Robert's suggestion of using a sandal (Nike Brand athletic type that strap over toes and around ankle) strapped to the pedal using the pedal straps and it works really well. I can work to exhaustion with no issues. On a side note, be careful tightening the straps as I broke mine the other day which prompted me to try J. B. Robert's route.

I wouldn't recommend these for bike riding, I would recommend Harbinger wrist guards for that. And these typically run one size small; so I usually wear a small glove, but I wear a medium in these wrist guards (and they're snug). They are super durable though if you think your going to be falling off your bike lol :)

I've worn it across my body when biking to a yoga class. The strap is on the longer side so sometimes it will slip off my shoulder but thats from riding a road bike; I don't have that issue when I'm walking around with it on.

I wear them when I ride my bike. Everyone once in a while, they become loose and I need to stop and tighten the straps. I wouldn't recommend wearing them while running, but that would a decision you would need to make for yourself.

Try the Moon Saddle MoonSaddle C-ModelIt looks odd, and on an outdoor bicycle it takes a little getting used to, but once you try it, you'll never go back. It should fit on this Assault. I have a large box with about 10 different sizes and shapes of saddles that all failed to deliver in terms of riding comfort. I never had one that wasn't painful after 30 minutes. The first day I tried the Moon Saddle, I went for a 2 hour bike ride with no discomfort whatsoever!

My knee is swollen so it rolls down if I put it on the whole way, but it rolls less than any other I have tried. I use the smaller ones in place of support hose...(up to the knee)...they are easier to put on and never roll. Futuro gives more support than others.

I don't know if you've found a solution for yourself or not, but maybe this will help someone else in this situation... If you strap your feet into the pedals while the pedals are horizontal and parallel to the floor (with your legs perpendicular to the pedals and knees directly above your feet while sitting with the seat rested near the digital readout) instead of with the pedals at their resting position (at an angle), it seems to work infinitely better. I did this last night and was able to make it through the workout without my feet coming out of the pedals. Seems to have something to do with the feet secured flatter and with the weight on the heel rather than looser and more weight on the ball of the foot.

It is comfortable for short distances. I ended up replacing it with this one: Retrospec Bicycles Saddle Fixed Gear Single Speed Fixie Urban Road Bike (Black, One Size)

I think they do make a pad that slips over the knee area, but if you or someone you know are a little crafty, you could get some seat cusion batting in the craft dept. at Wmrt and make one. Or you could tie a thick towel onto the knee area and try that, it won't look the prettiest but might relieve some of the discomfort. My knee bothered me at first, but now not so much. If you are on it for an extended time, it will get a little uncomfortable. Hope this helps.

I use it for road cycling and find this to be the best one yet, it maintains good tension over the face but is easy to pull under the chin if I need a little more freedom to breathe or overheat. This garment is pretty well shaped for the face, but not rigid or "structured" in any way. The thinness of the Lycra cuts the wind without overheating the face. I hope this helps, and, I have four, it's that good a fit for the huge melon on top of my neck!

I haven't biked or hiked with it..but I do wear it on my 1 mile walk to work and I have traveled with it. Super comfortable and easy to wear. I would hike with it though.

I have not experience any bunching behind the knee, but I only wear my knee sleeve during my workouts. I have never worn it all day or under my clothes. I hope this response is helpful.

Yes, I have the same problem in my right knee and that is why I bought these. While the knee can still be in pain, it prevents further irritation and allows me to move comfortably.
