[~JB~]

just out of curiosity, are sparky knee sliders "not for road use"?

[jake]

if you can lean far enough to get your toe/peg down on a zxr, you're easily leaning far enough to get your knee down.

if youre decking your pegs down then you're leaning more than far enough to get your knee down - its technique thats the problem

if you're decking your toes - check you arent riding with duck feet! If you're riding with duck feet, that isnt going to help you get your knee down either.

the best knee sliders to get would be solid titanium, i had a pair or motrax sparkies and they only lasted a week.

[Caz]

I dont know anyone who sells solid titanium sliders?

motrax do two sets of sparkie sliders
- the tear drop ones that are covered in titanium. These ones dont last long as there is only about 5mm of titanium covering a plastic slider,
- the ones with titanium rods in. These last quite well as the rods run all the way through the slider.

still like the motrax one

"The puck is shrouded in a mold of pure Titanium."

Which kinda figures, a solid Ti slider is gonna be veeeery expensive.


/Caz - happy to be proved wrong

soild Ti would be silly expensive! plus your only alowed plastic on track so not much point

i never used to be able to get my knee down but got pegs down. All you need to do is move your butt more off the seat

go for some solid steel sliders - guaranteed knee down, the weight of them will pull the bike over!

















(i know this ignores some basic physics, especially if you have one on each knee, but shh)
