So I'm getting my Vitus Nucleus VRS ready for the trails. So far I've fit some mudguards, bottle cage, put some Schrader adaptors over the Presta valves (I hate Presta srs), fit a quadlock, set the sag in the air fork, lubed the chain and waxed the bike and fit some Nukeproof metal studded pedals. Also put on a tail pack with multi tool, tire levers, puncture repair etc.
Clothing wise I've just got some basic gloves and a helmet but after hearing so many horror stories of broken bones, I feel like some protection is needed before sending it. MTB specific armour costs the earth so is there any decent cheaper alternative to protect knees/shin/elbows?
