old one-- we use shocktamers pads.. beren using them for about 6 years.. when
i use reg shoes--st croix eventers-- and i am only doing endurance.. i use
them on all 4 when i lived up north and did alot of stone road work as well
as rocky rides.. i always ran pads on all 4.. had problems with stone bruises
in the hind until i padded.
when i do natrc.. cant use a fullpad.. i use rim pads.. does help with
concussion..
but no protection.
