    Got some sick gloves.

    Sold my GP pros (never broke in the way I expected... fit wasn't quite right). Got a pair of held phantoms. They live up to the hype. AMAZING quality.

    Also grabbed a pair of teknic speedstar knee pucks to replace the shitty chicane ones that came with my pants... they were very thin and initially I didn't have them positioned quite perfectly and one time my leather touched down instead of the puck and it was certainly a pucker moment... These are nicer.

    +1 on the teknic speedstar knee pucks ....my originals are about 3/4 worn and I have a brand new set ready to go. I like the way they slide and wear...

    Some day when I'm ballin' I'll get those gloves. For now it's whatever leftover full length gloves I can find. So far my IXS Laguna's have been great.

    If you're mad about it, why did you PM me asking for one without the gloves in the way?

    I'm glad you like them... I haven't ridden with them yet.

    But just replacing them on the pants I can tell they will be mo' betta.

    You can see in the bottom right of the old one how sharply they were wearing (I flipped them 180 degrees when I moved them to fix the position) and the scuff on my knee from when it touched down on the track. Pucker moment!!!!! I think some of this might have to do with my short legs and the R6's high peg height, even on the stock rearsets. Notice how I even trimmed some velcro off the chicane ones to move them up more. Comparing the two (camer phone pics, sorry):




    Lookin' good now:
