Doobiesnax Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Well I took my first stab at building a buddy some 45 degree knee blocks for his V6s. It went better than expected and I learned a lot through the process. I basically reverse engineered the monster blocks I bought of a buddy of mine for the basic design. I used cordura and outdoor vinyl (like jenpro just a tad thinner, used for boat seats) and used a everlast yoga block for the foam as it suprisingly close to the softness/rigidity of the maltese and pe open cell combo in the monster blocks. I also used a strip of jenpro and rivets for the lace in section. before vs after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chenner29 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Oh man, those are thick! And really well made. I was just gonna post my (negative) experience with a thicker knee block...hopefully they work out for you. I found they moved the pad too far towards the inside when I was in my stance, causing my pads to butt into each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shaved down the foam in my monster blocks and will be sticking with the stock blocks in the 2S. I can see where they will benefit some people (hence why I tried them out), so hopefully they work for your buddy @Doobiesnax Nice build for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doobiesnax Posted March 21, 2018 Author Share Posted March 21, 2018 Thanks gents. I just learned to use a sewing machine a few weeks back so obviously I had never made anything like this before lol. They turned out way better than I thought. As for the thickness, the monster set I use are this thick as well and work for me. I dont have a ton of thigh rise on my pads and my stance isn’t super wide so I don’t have the butting issue described above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
