The best gloves money can buy
 

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. I understand now why soooo many racers run these gloves. They are the shit.

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 and the edge of the puck, instead of the puck face itself and I almost crashed... These are nicer.

Those gloves are sick man. Nice buy

Held are some seriously nice gloves. Best in the business from what I've read.

I wish there was a place arund Vegas where I could try them on first. I'm gonna be going all out on some sick gloves when I get back.

I will have a set of Held Phantoms one day. I heart them.

Good to hear they are as good as people say.

gj chris. you think you'll be able to get out soon.

Awsome! Nice Buy!

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):

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.

nice... what pants are those?

He has chicanes. Good lookin gloves man.

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! :lol:

What did you pay for these gloves?

Edit: NM...I see above.

good score ceo.

Thanks dudes.
Yeah they are ceramic. I hope to get them down next ride, check out feel and feedback.
Chicanes... killer pants for the money. Only thing is the zipper runs the opposite way of many brands of jackets... I had my jacket zipper reversed.
Yeah they're pricey, but worth it to me. And I got a great deal.

how much are they? and which way does your zipper run on them? I'm look'n at the A* A10 pants... I can get them for under 200...

Both you fucks should get 1-peices.

I agree. That's next on my list.

Check out this deal, wow only $25.00... Moto GP gloves.:rockwoot:

You can get the chicanes for aroun 175. If you're a fatass, I just found them at newenough closeout for 140, killer deal:

I looked at those a10's, and they're def a* low-end model... a lot of textile on there... and don't come with pucks... but it's your call.

I would get the chicanes. I'm not sure, but I THINK the zipper zipped counterclockwise when I got them, and had to reverse it. Not sure, though. If you have an agvsport or joe rocket jacket, it's the opposite direction of those... those are the two jackets I have...
I agree. So you're buying?
I wouldn't wipe my ass with those gloves, let alone ride hard in them. :idk:

Thats a great deal on the pants!!

And yeah agree those gloves are shit..

I'm pretty sure you are right. They zip counter clockwise.

*Best* is a subjective word.

These are my gloves... Spidi Penta Sport Race gloves. Worth EVERY penny. We jokingly call them Bayliss gloves as they clip your pinky to your ring finger. I want to buy a few extra pairs just so I don't have to try and find them in the future...

Oh, and don't let the price freak you out - I paid less than that.

Those are the other glove I was considering. Right up there with the helds. Also a great option :dthumb:

dont' have my size... but good insight about the A* ones

Well you might have to pay more like 175 for the chicanes... but still, even for that price, they are a great deal. Marko will say +1 to that as well. Teehee.

:lol: are you saying Marko would agree that your gay for 175 chicanes?

No fag, that is not what I am saying :asshat:

Burn!!!!

:lol:

I looked in to those pants... I think I'll have to wait till the off season... probably better prices then anyways.

I wouldn't wait. The chicanes are already a great bargain at 175ish considering the quality... the only reason I found them a day or two ago for 140 is because they were for larger waist sizes. If you're a 30, 32, or 34, just buy them at 175 and be done with it.

cause money is kinda tight right now... (military screwed up my pay) and I'm trying to get everything I need for the Indy trip squared away... theses aren't a necessity for that trip... really... I don't think I'd even take them if I got them... not like I'll be drag'n a knee on my 13 state jaunt.

I'll wait... but thanks for the heads up :dthumb:

Fair enough. I can certainly feel your pain about current monetary issues... I'm in a similar boat.

So do you have some touring textile pants or draggin jeans or something already?

yeah I've got the A* street Cargo's... they're good for just cruzing... I've got knee and shin armor I wear under them.

Marko would say that.
