Hey guys, I get some knee pain due to an old skiing incident, do you really think those neoprene knee things help? Maybe I ought to pick one up, and whats the difference between those and the little band ones you see that go just below (I think) the knee? And to keep this reply more inline with this post, I see people using knee braces all the time. I race every weekend (running as well as Bi's) and go to a lot of Tri's with friends. I see people with knee braces from time to time and no one ever seems to be bothered by it. They often say you can't wear headphones and I see people racing with their iPods all the time...
