I prefer motrax tear drops due to the fact that yo can get so much weat out of them.

but my opinion isnt that strong coz i've only ever used them and the wurth ones.

Motrax ones feel like crap, wear out really fast and cost loads

Your knee is only touching down, not pushing against the ground, so most slides will last quite a while unless your lapping a roundabout all day

I quite like the Wurth ones myself

Oh yeah, and the Maxpower DVD was quite good

I've got a pair of Alpinestars ones and they're pretty good, but expensive...about £35 I think

such a fucking rip-off if you ask me thwy should cost 5 puond for placky one and 20 for sparkys.

Im sure if someone get hold of some plastic or a number for somewhere selling similar plastic we could make our own coz if you look at the back of the wurth one they are only held on by some staples.

right I think Im gonna do soem research into doing this

Contact Wurth, tell them if they sell their sliders for £5 a set they will be making a killing in sales!

In my opinion there's only two types of slider; sparkies and non-sparkies

I haven't really noticed any difference between makes of plastic sliders at all, and I don't know of anyone that uses the weird leather sliders

Oh and I use Motrax sparkies at the moment.

You can make them out of soem plasticy-mould-stuff forget what, but in an issue of 'max bikes' (i think, free with fast bikes)

[Stew]

would that be FIMO? (the plasticy moulding stuff)

May well be stew.

You need some old velcro to attack them to.




Personally I don't like the tear drop ones, because they seem to fall off a lot. Apart from that, I (gnerally ) use them to judge how leant over I am, which most seem to do in a fairly similar manner

[kev]

well i better chuck in my 2 pence worth. first of all motrax should be banned from makeing sliders as they are the worst thing ive ever had on my knee. if you want a good slider which you are going to use propery get WIZ GP sliders but if yo just one of the people who think the point in getting your knee down is to see how hard you can push it on the road then you may as well just use a cabbage

and remember the whole point in getting your knee down is to use it as a guide to see how close you are to the road and your only really ment to skim it not jam it down as that will only slow you down
