pads? when you fall?

No, i know what those are for. But the pad's that are on your toptube, stem, and all that. Not pad's you wear.

ya i know that what i was guessing though.

Oh. Minichamp31, can you answer this i saw that you had them on your bike.

They're basically just to help you so if you hit your bars or stem or slip a pedal and fall on your toptube. Mine don't really help with the last one though, as it's really thin and small. But you're supposed to have them on your bike when you race but a lot of people don't.

Yeah, they're basically useless. But depending on the track, the rules require them.
Plus the right set makes your bike scream BMX!!!

Pads haha

I always thought pads on the toptube/bars/stem were for five-year-olds.

I have to use them when I race. I am 41.

you don't need pads on your bike... the rules changed a few years ago. don't waste your money, they dont do anything for you anyway.

oh, and i would get the intense... best complete for the price. it will fit you well.
