I needs new sliders.

Anyone tried leather ones? What are they like?

It's either them or some really horrific wiz 90s ones, lol.

Scraping tanned animal hide along the floor? No thanks, I can imagine that smelling a bit. Sick.

I think I'll stick to plastic ones, mine just say RST across and you can barely notice they're even on the leathers, they work fine. Thumbs Up!

I remember a really old BCF thread where they used a gameboy, got one hanging around?

Used them once, and only once.

They're REALLY grabby. They also stink and smoke with prolonged use.

I chucked the set I had in the bin. Really didn't like the amount they grabbed on the road. I went straight back to plastic. They're also more expensive than plastic sliders and don't last as long.

get some sparkies - they'll keep you entertained for a good hour or so...


...then you'll want rid.

Yep, grab a lot.

I wouldn't recommend.

I was under the impression that a lot of trackday organisers don't allow sparking knee sliders as they can damage the track surface? Confused.

quite possibly, I didn't realise it was for using on track.
not had a set for ages, suddenly feel the urge to buy some!
