stock +1 on Itechs?

[c0nquistad0rian]

This might sound like a silly question, but I'm confused about how that stock +1 on the thigh rise is taken into account for Itechs. If you order a 34" pad, are they 33"+1" on the thigh rise, or are they a regular 34"(+1")?

honestly i have no idea, thats a very good question. i ordered 34+1 and it says 35+ on it but the thighrise is huge.

I know for a fact the 11.8's come with a stock +1 thighrise.

all new itech lines, 4.8, 7.8, 9.8, and 11.8 come with a stock +1

I'm not questioning on whether or not the Itech pads come with the stock +1 thighrise. I already know that. That's where my questions COMES from: If the +1 thigh rise is stock, is the 34" pad that you order a 34" inch pad because it's a 33" pad with a +1" thighrise, making it a 34" pad OR is it a 34" pad PLUS 1" ?

Just specify the size you want. If you want a 34''+1'' then tell them you want a 34''+1'' pad.

[Sabre35]

they are all +1 extra inch. a 34 would end up measuring 35"

[Ryeno42]

you have to know what length the stock thigh rise is first.

Not all co. have the same length on the thigh rise.

Just like a 34" xceed +1 is the same as a 34" summit+1/2"

same with the blockade and the gatekeeper.

the gatekeeper is

A 34"+ 3" stock blockade is the same as 34" stock summit .

if you ask for just +3" without knowing what the stock thigh rise is you will have too big of a thigh rise.

Of course depending on who you ask, some will tell you that the earth is center of the universe and the sun, moon and everything else revolves around it.

They are plus the 1". In other words, a 31" 7.8 is a 31" pad with an extra 1" added to the thigh.

After measuring a number of Itech pads...I would suggest the following:

1. The thigh rise is indeed longer as claimed

2. Some Itech models have rather large boot areas so the pads sometimes wear a bit shorter overall since that boot is part of the overall measurement.

if you're ordering online ask the person to measure the ATK of the pad and see from there what size they actually are.

if you're buying locally, just try the damn things on.

I tried on a pair of RBK's and realized I needed another inch.

So I ordered 32+1. But they already state that their pads are +1. So now I am not sure if they thought I was ordering stock, or did they add +1 on top of their +1.

Solution: I am going to measure the length between the middle of the landing gear to the top of the thigh along the middle in the inside of the pad.

Then I am going to compare to a stock pad to see if indeed i have an additional inch.
