    Can't see why you'd need to load them up unless it was to save a fall, I've used my current set for at least 4 years now and I reckon they'll last that long again

    pretty much as I do it

    Lift your knee higher... Dont load it up because at extreme lean angles this can unload the rear tyre and cause a crash... touch it down, and use it to gauge your lean angle, then lift it off lightly....

    Cheap ones, Bico knee sliders... Good ones... Wizz Knee sliders or Spidi Ceramic Sliders

    the alpinestar ones a great...last for ages...

    but as others have said....they last for ages if you use them as a lean angle indicator as they are intended...rather than for blow arsing about how fast you go through them...makes life cheaper too....

    Well just one thing about the ceramic scrapers--theyre bloody loud--like omg im crashing the bike kinda loud
    I gotta say I personally prefer to load up my scraper. keep in mind everybody has a different style --I tend to like to hang right off the bike and pull it down to me
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    I've used Wiz and Dainese brand scrapers.

    Both are nice.

    Give Northern Accessories in Otahuhu Auckland a ring they stock Wiz scrapers and Spyke leathers.
