Espescially this time of year the cold can sneak into your joints, particularly knees, when otherwise they'd be fine.
A neoprene support will keep your knee toasty warm, but bent at the angle it will be when riding - it can often restrict blood flow rather then aid it. Don't forget they are generally worn to support a straight leg. This restriction will only cause you more problems and increase your chances of DVT on long trips. ![]() If you don't need it for actual support then my advice is not to go for something that is comparitively thick and settle instead for a simple, basic tubular bandage, or even a regular crepe bandage. It will be more flexible, allowing the joint to be flexed more easily and will help promote blood flow due to the more even pressure. |

I maintain a 650 mile day on the SV without reasonable breaks did for my already a bit dodgy knees (I dont have wonky knee, btw I must stress, just dodgy knees...like me dear old Mum).
