Toe sliders

Post by Cheese Monkey »

I need a new RH toe slider for my Axo boots, completely wore it out today :twisted: . Been doing a quick google/ebay search and not come up with anything :? .

Also, can anyone reccomend some knee sliders that are a bit harder wearing? I dunno whether I've been putting too much pressure down but I went straight through one today (and the velcro patch on me leathers). Alpinestar one, just seemed to melt :shock:

dainese classics for the knee sliders matey, the older the better as theyre solid sliderrs not hollow like the alpinestars

if thats with your toes right back on the pegs then you need a set of rearsets or a bike with better ground clearance. get some decent rearsets with a good bit of range and set them right back and up to save your boots, damaging toe sliders is one thing eating your boots away is another entirely!- adjusted back rearsets also have the advantage that its harder to get your knee down so it will only touch down when your really are right over so you dont eat sliders so much.

I have sidi vertigo's sidi do replacement slider packs for a £10 odd you can get them on ebay - I presume other makes are similarly easy to get replacements.

yeh your not wrong just done a quick search on Axo toe sliders and nothing comes up :?

Id be tempted to buy a couple sets once you do track them down if there are that hard to get hold of.

Have you tried seeing if you can pick up a cheap 2nd hand pair off ebay just for the sliders?

Or just grab a drill and 'modify' some from a different set of boots til they fit :wink:
