Hi all,

I have a pair of Alpinestar SMX's and basically i am after some new toe sliders as my current ones are buggered, the joys of owning a bike with the worlds lowest footpegs and the stupidity not to get my feet out the way!

I have found these on ebay which will do the trick:
https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4631097531

but was wondering if ones are available that are made of a material that will "spark" when they rub on the deck.

Anybody know of these, and if so, where sells them?

Cheers

Andy

yeah i thought so, thing is i can find quite a few knee sliders like this but I am stuggling to find any toe sliders like this.
Any links to places that sell em, or names of shops not too far from Southampton would be cool.

There are also rods you can put in normal plastic ones if you can't find any metal sliders. Thumbs Up

Surely the last thing you'd want in an accident is a bunch of screws right next to your feet?
