But I don't wear shin pads so can't reccomend what to buy.

Nice one Ciaran CRC is some website, they sell everything bar those pink tassels one would see on kids bikes...:D but I was looking more for a physical shop, I'm new to downhill and would find it handy to talk to someone who knows their stuff,

I want the gards coz i broke a bone last year and I'll never forget the hassle it caused, time off work, operations unable to cycle etc and I'm not going through all that again.
