FAQs

Are these flexiblocs suitable for all types of saddles?

These flexiblocs are specifically designed for and recommended for WINTEC Jump, WINTEC Close Contact, and pony saddles, and are suitable for all WINTEC models. While they may fit in other saddles, their intended design and effectiveness are optimized for WINTEC products.

How do I know if I have them positioned correctly?

Correct positioning is when you feel balanced, secure, and supported without any discomfort or pinching. Experiment with slightly forward, backward, inward, or outward adjustments until you achieve a stable and comfortable leg position that aids your riding.

Can these flexiblocs help improve my jumping position?

Yes, they can assist in stabilizing your thigh and knee, providing a more consistent leg position which is beneficial for balance and security over fences.

How many flexiblocs come in a pair?

The product is sold as a pair, meaning you receive two flexiblocs, one for each leg.

Can I use these if I have a very short or very long leg?

While they offer adjustable support, their effectiveness can depend on your individual leg length and proportions. Experimentation is key to see if they provide the desired benefit for your specific anatomy.

Do I need to remove them for regular saddle cleaning?

It's generally advisable to remove them for thorough saddle cleaning to ensure the saddle and the flexiblocs are properly cleaned and dried. This also allows you to check the saddle flap area for any debris.

What is the main benefit of using these flexiblocs?

The primary benefit is the ability to individually tailor your thigh and knee support, leading to a more secure, stable, and comfortable riding position, particularly in jumping and close contact saddles.

Troubleshooting

Flexiblocs feel uncomfortable or create pressure points.

Try repositioning the flexiblocs. Ensure they are not bunched up and are placed smoothly under the saddle flap. Check that your saddle fits correctly, as ill-fitting saddles can exacerbate pressure from any added support.

Flexiblocs slide out of position during riding.

Ensure the saddle flap is smooth and free of debris where the flexibloc is placed. Some saddles may have a specific channel or pocket; ensure the bloc is seated correctly within it. If the issue persists, consider if the saddle flap material or cut is contributing to slippage.

Difficulty finding the optimal position for support.

Spend time during unmounted warm-ups or stationary periods adjusting the blocs. Focus on how different positions affect your leg contact and stability. Riding in a field or quiet arena can help you experiment safely.
