Wrist wrap/guard

[Raydek]

Been trying to find something like this locally (Cape Town) but have had no luck.

 

Anyone out there know of a place?

 

Thanks

I bought mine from Chain Reaction Cycles in the UK after I broke my wrist and I used it for quite a while. Unfortunately I gave it away a couple of months ago. I have seen proper wrist guards at the Orthopaedic clinic at Vincent Pallotti hospital. Perhaps try some place that supply orthopaedic braces? Chris Willemse Cycles also used to bring in 661 protective gear, but I don't think they carry much stock anymore. If you do get something, the wrap that goes around your thumb works best. You put it on over your gloves and it keeps your wrist from bending as much as it would otherwise. The one that just wraps around the wrist moves up and does not protect the wrist very well. Did you injure your wrist or do you just want to protect it better in the event of a crash?

Thanks for the info. Chain reaction is where I spotted it initially, just wanted them a bit sooner.

 

I fell some time ago, not to bad, but my wrist just doesn't seem to want to get better, suppose I don't rest it enough.
