Anyone know what size that would be? (like a 37+3 or something?)
That close to mine (21.5, 9, 9, 5-10) and Pete recommended a 36 or a 38-1, so you probably aren't too far off.

Just sent off my deposit for a SB2000 blocker to match my 2000 pads. Shopped around and was thinking RBK but cannot beat Pete's customer service and pricing. I got a wait time for 10 weeks, so the blocker should be done in April.

Were they actually vintage or were they just made to look vintage? A guy I know from another forum lives in PA and got a set of 3000's with a waffle blocker. Pete will do that design if you ask him... might be an upcharge, not sure.

You're better off getting the measurement from the middle of the knee cradle... then you can tell how far the pads will go up your thigh.

He used USPS for mine. Pretty sure it was Priority Mail but I could be wrong. He might use someone else for overseas though.

Does anyone know if I can get Teal as a color option on Smith pads? The customizer doesn't have it as an option. I do seem to recall a post awhile back stating something to the effect that Teal was being phased out. Can anyone elaborate on this? I'm just curious, because the only mfg's I've seen that offer Teal as color option are Vaughn, Rbk and Itech... I know that Vortek offers it, but I'm not too keen on their graphic, though I do love their pads. I figured since I'm going custom, I might as well get what I want.

Sounds basic, but give Pete a call. He answers the phone, so you probably will have your answer within a minute of picking up the phone.
