The strap-on ones (ooer) make your knees sweaty and cut off
circulation if they are too tight and when you kneel down for long
periods. Get some work trousers that have pockets for kneepads. The
snickers ones are good but cost ££, but then what are your knees worth
to you? £50 for decent trousers and pads vs pain, suffering of damaged
knees. I hope yours get better soon.

Thanks. It's just the right one, getting better all the time apart from
the stiffness and slight tenderness. I'm riding my push bike again after
two years.

I don't intend using them for long periods, just things like taking the
wheels off the car, although I'd probably use a seat for that. As I'm
6'6" my legs tend to get in the way in confined spaces, so kneeling is
sometimes the only method.
