i have a question on the grip levels of the different compounds. ive used both harder compound nylon and soft nylon. the hard ones i have seems to really grab the pavement which upsets the chassis from it pulling my leg back, the softer ones just glide over the pavement with good feeback on the surface like i would imagine they should but they dont last more than a few sessions on the track. what i want to know is what level of grab do the ceramic sliders have? if they grab like the hard compound sliders then i think ill just buy thicker soft nylon sliders.

Try leather ones

+1 for leather too. They grab pretty bad the first lap or so but once you get the very top of them scuffed up it is like butta and they last way longer than nylon.

If you do end up putting a lot of weight on them through longer turns the leather stinks like hell though http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
