I managed to leave a fair amount of my knee sliders on the tarmac on the way back from the cornwall show on friday!

My toe sliders are scuffed but nothing compaired to yours thelastsuperpower, my toes are on the edge of the peg too, I think i must have more ground clearence than you? :?

Loving having my knee on the floor though :wink:

at a guess you' need to reposition your foot as you should be wearing through the side of the slider not the front hence the way sliders are designed and fit to boots :wink: :wink: :wink:

Next thing is some rear sets lol

Yeah, its the problem i find with my lanky legs and the position of the pegs on the ninja, even with my toes on the pegs my feet end up sort of splaying outwards unconsciously when my knees down and then my toes scrape.

If i really make a conscious effort i can corner fast with my toes pointing away from the deck but it really doesnt feel very stable...rearsets would help massively though i cant afford any,so it looks like ill just have to learn to deal with it...or grow a carbon foot :roll: :mrgreen:
Bikeless again :/
