Velcro knee blocks

[Ellibelli]

I've been having a lockdown clear out and found a bag full of velcro knee/thigh blocks that I could do with listing for sale on eBay. Would anyone be able to confirm for me which saddles they might fit, please? They will be a mixture of Wow, Bates / Wintec, Fairfax / Thorowgood / Kent and Masters and Albion blocks. Some have soft side (loop) velcro and others have rough side (hook) velcro. The rough side ones fit my Wow, which has the soft side sewn onto the saddle, and I THINK these also fit Wintec / Bates saddles but I'm not sure, and I'm not sure which type of saddles the soft side blocks fit. Hope that makes sense and if anyone has any of the above makes of saddle and could confirm the type of velcro fastening for the blocks I would be very grateful please!

I have a Wintec AP 500 Cair, and the softside is on the saddle and hook side on the knee blocks.

My K&M had the soft side on the saddle. I’d expect Thorowgood to be the same.

To be honest, I’m surprised anyone is doing it differently as if you take the blocks out (like I always have to) the scratchy side will be rubbing your saddle. I know it’s the underside of the flap, but still...

My solution has softside on the saddle and rough side on the block too

Yeah - that makes sense and I'm a bit baffled now as to which saddle the blocks with the smooth side on it fit - I pretty much convinced myself it would be K&M/Thorowgood/Fairfax. The only saddles I've ever had has been Albion, Bates, Fairfax and Wow?

Anyway thanks everyone for taking the time to check and come back to me

Does anyone have a Fairfax saddle they could check for me please? I'm wondering if they are different to the K&M saddles - just clutching at straws!

I've just chucked a couple of pairs from a wintec in the bin, should I have tried to sell them?

I have a Harry Dabbs - that has the soft side on the saddle so needs the hard side on the blocks
