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.

I wear mine while running and biking and don't have much of an issue. They come with several different options for the in-ear cushions--sorry but I can't think of what their proper nomenclature is off hand--and you may find that different ones stay put better than others. I run to a Marine Corps running cadence recording and with my iGi In-Ear Headphones it sounds just like I'm back on Parris Island with my Drill Instructors yelling at me. haha

Honestly, I purchased one for my ankle. When my ankle swells, it gets a little snug and I sit down and rest. But, if I'm resting, it is so pain relieving and warm. Incredibrace has it's own website and you might want to go there (http://www.incrediwear.com). Their website says to measure two inches above the knee. I hope this helps. You probably can purchase for less at Amazon. Good luck if you decide to buy it. I love mine.

I put mine around my ankle and it tracks when I cycle. To keep it on I pull my sock over the band to ensure it doesn't fall off.

I wear one because my knee was taken out by an accident. I do not wear them everyday, but when I do they help and they do no harm.

Yes very much so!! It is comfortable and wearable for support during activities that may produce strain on the knee. I wear it when I exercise and when I'm working for stability which protects from further damage. Get one or two you won't be sorry!!!

I've found this padding to be comparable to my other cycling shorts, which I wear for century rides (5-6 hours). I think most of my shorts are rated for moderate riding, so that's probably what these are rated as well. If you're looking for padding as a way to help make your seat more comfortable on a bike, you might want to consider visiting a bike shop and comparing bike saddles as an additional option. I've been happy with these tights and have found them very comfortable. I've worn them on 2-3 hour rides with no problems. And as I said, they're comparable to the bike shorts that I wear for much longer rides. (I don't usually ride longer in the colder weather, so I haven't tested the tights on a century ride.)

I have not used it for cycling but it is the most comfortable protector I have worn.

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!

I think this is entirely a matter of personal preference. Mine is on my K2 road bike but I am not particularly concerned about weight/bulkiness. I am much more concerned about comfort. My husband is a more avid cyclist (does about 100 miles per week) and thinks this seat ("saddle") is ridiculous on my bike (which happens to be his hand me down).

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 did not encounter this issue on my Canondale Synapse. What i DID however find and you should be aware of is that when "standing" and pedaling it interferes greatly by rubbing against your knees and just making it awkward. I took mine off since I do a lot of hilly rides.

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 like these shorts. The padding is very good, but probably not as good as higher-end road shorts. Keep in mind that a lot of discomfort comes from poor saddle fit or poor bike fit, and even the best padded shorts will not eliminate that.

Had some pretty bad pain on bones between my legs, this seat definitely helps also will take a few rides for your body and bones to adjust to cycling...you can talk to the folks at a bike shop if there's one in your area, they may have some advice...but I just love this seat and maybe will work for you too, good luck

My knee is 14" and the medium is a bit too big for me. Having used numerous brands of these, I now go with the Breg patella band. I use a Medium in their product. The Nike also has a tendency to chaff me on long bike rides.

Its not the most comforable one ive tried... Not sure there is a really comfy one. They are all hard on your knee.
