Just got my FlyJumpers - confused

[Keltaria]

This is a really idiotic question, but I have read the instructions that came with my flyjumpers (adult model, 60kg) and I don't understand the strange chinese translations, heh.

When I put them on without any adjustment, the knee bar and pad at the back (that would be touching my calf) are not right at all - my leg is not in contact with the pad. I can make the knee bar go up and down, but that doesn't really help. I'm hoping you can actually adjust this and I don't have to do it the hard way and gain a lot of weight! Or does it not matter if your leg is in contact with it or not?

Sorry, I feel like a right thicko, but I don't know how to do this mechanical stuff

The coloured calf pad shouldn't touch your calf.

Its there for safety so that if the velcro on the knee bar comes undo your calf hits the soft pad instead of the sharper harder metal

Oh okay, so it's fine as it is? The instruction manual somehow made it sound like you could actually do something with it... Thanks for replying so fast

No problem 

Where abouts are you from, there may be some people or groups local to you?

Just be sure the knee bar is just under your knee cap. I don't find it, but I think there's a few post in knowledge section that explain exactly where you must put it. Take a look!

I am in London (on the central line!) so I'm guessing there will be quite a few groups to meet up with who can show me how to powerise properly, heh.

If you need to fill the knee bar space a little, a local hardware shop should carry foam insulating tubes for household water pipes.  Buy the softest and largest diameter foam tubing you can find and attach it to the inner loop surface of the knee bars with some electrical tape.  Home Depot here in the States carries a nice super-soft dense rubber tubing that I simply place inside the loop when my daughter puts my stilts on.
