LOL! I just read that Brett's riding in the Trek 100 again this year if you want to ride with him.
It was in the upper 60's here on Saturday so I finally had a chance to try the sleeves by them selves and my knees felt good after the ride with no pain. They stay in place and didn't slide down. I'd have to say they were worth the $20 for the pair.
BTW I got mine online through Walmart and I'm pretty sure they have a small.

Copper-Fit lists 5 sizes and measures 5 inches above the knee.
Zensah only lists 2 sizes and measures around the knee.
The problem with Copper-Fit is, they don't stock the small sixe.
The problem with Zensah is, I think that the S/M is too large.

I'm happy with my Copper fits. Been using almost a year after two falls on the same knee on 2016 Eroica California. Don't know what the copper does, but the added warmth and support works for me. Warm enough for all but coldest LA rides, and not too hot on the hot days. $10 each side at Ralphs (Kroger). They have held up very well, just wish they were black not brown, to match my shorts.
