T6 vs Sprenger or ?

[FfionWinnie]

Just hacking for an hour and a half 4/5 days a week but fancy some sprengers for my poor ankles. Are T6 stirrups a patch on them? Anything else? I want something that looks like that not plasticky odd ones

Thanks.

I'd be interested in this as well - my poor joints hate me.

I prefer T6s, but didn't think they made them any more?

 

[WestCoast]

Actually I can't find any T6s for sale. I was considering the John Whitaker air irons which are a little cheaper.

I have Sprenger stirrups and would highly recommend them. I get knee pain if I'm out for a long time on a hack etc, and since I've had my Sprenger's it is noticeably reduced. Would definitely recommend investing in a pair!

I've got Sprengers and without my ankle and knee kill me. Highly recommend them!

I found the £25 ones just as good tbh!

 

[FfionWinnie]

Persephone that's good to hear. Maybe I will get a cheap pair and see if I like them.

I have T6's and I love them, they really help with my dodgy knees. I don't notice any difference from normal stirrups while riding other than my knees don't hurt when I get off.

It's true they don't make them any more (why ever not though?!) but I found mine on eBay so they do pop up sometimes.

Cheap ones are no where near as good IMO if you have joint issues. I have Sprenger System 4's on both my saddles, as they help hugely!
