Received these although only 100mm, I need a smaller backer can anyone advise if a soft one or hard one is best with these pads

Thought I'd try some with straps above the knee to see if they're better on my twig like legs.

Ultimately it depends on what you're doing with them. In general:-

Hard rubber or aluminium backer for flat surfaces or convex surfaces/edges.

The only reason to have a flexible or semi flexible backer is if you need the pads to form to a concave shape or curve.

Sponge (soft) type backers are more appropriate for paper discs, it gives them a little suspension and reduces the chance of tearing.
