When riding to work yesterday I got my toe down on a great left hander just before the entrance to work. How close will I be to getting my knee down if my toe went down? Ohh and if the knee had gone down it would have been very painfull as I dont have knee sliders! So maybe time to invest in some if Im getting close to knee down.

Toe down is easy and quite dangerous actually.

Shows that your for isn't on the peg properly too.

Unless your riding with the ball of your foot on the peg and still getting your toe down like I was doing at a Donington Trackday, now thats disconcerting!

No, disconcerting is having the balls of your feet on the pegs, grinding your toe sliders away and not being able to get your feet any further out of the way, as I was at Cadwell. My next investment will be a set of rearsets Shocked

Cheers
