Just go by measurements... worst case, you have to do an exchange. Held's sizing is very specific and you just need to measure your hand. If I were you, I would err on the side of smaller if you are between sizes, based on the fitment I got.

I got mine from sportbiketrackgear... they list for 295, STG sells them for 280, I got them to give them to me for 230. I think I got a great deal.

Yeah dude, my plan is to finally get out tomorrow. The bike could use a good run, and I REALLY could use one.




The pucks look like they'll be great. 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 (camera phone pics, sorry):





Lookin' good:

Good looking pucks. I'll probly get a set of those when the 2 pair I have now wear out.

Yeah, I like the looks. And the teknic logo is set all the way through the puck so it will remain there even after lots of kneedragging.

I didn't get a knee down when I rode today, there was too much sand and salt. I am anxious to see how they slide and what feedback they give, though. Maybe next ride.

Those pucks are ceramic, right? Those'll last longer than your old ones.

I've got a set of Buell pucks too...but they look just about identical to the Chicane pucks. I dont expect them to last long.

I'm guessing a couple years, unless you start riding more!
