Westside 243 Report post Posted May 6, 2023 I have a pair of Bauer 1X shins that I absolutely love. Curv composite, the flexible piece at the ankle, and solid coverage on the back of the calves all while staying pretty streamlined. The kneecaps and shells are still in great condition, but the removable liner has seen better days and I’m wondering if anyone has ever replaced their liners. If so, what did you do? I tuck my tongues and the lower part of the inside of the shins is beat up. Has anyone repaired this area? Every tutorial I’ve come across online seems to focus on straps or cracked kneecaps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would also recommend using some denier nylon in the high wear areas. https://www.amazon.com/Black-Denier-Cordura-Nylon-Fabric/dp/B00I80QH3S Edited May 6, 2023 by VegasHockey 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Westside 243 Report post Posted May 6, 2023 Huh. Interesting idea. That could probably work for the liners. Thanks, I’ll give it a try Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't mind sewing some directly onto the bottom of the shins themselves, but would have to stitch by hand which I'm not interested in doing. Thanks for the tip! We'll see how these hold up 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xstartxtodayx 343 Report post Posted August 16, 2023 That looks way better than the hack job I did to my 19K liners 😂 I did it by hand with a speedy stitcher, also my liner had more curves at the bottom which made my life hell haha. I now have tons of that material I'll prob cover lots of stuff with lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Westside 243 Report post Posted August 17, 2023 Thanks! The liners are curved like the one on the right. But since they’re hidden I didn’t care enough to match them. Having a sewing machine makes it quick and easy to do tho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
