    Wiz are very good, have used them for years, you can get track versions of them as well which are thicker so last longer ;)

    +1 for the wiz sliders.

    Couldn't get on with dainese knee sliders. They felt too hard and just didn't feel right.

    Liked wiz but they wore too easy? Perhaps I didn't have the track version?

    Like the r&g ones as tyke says they wear decent and are quite think to start with.... Can also turn them upside down to get some extra life out of them ;)

    I've used Motrax Roc knee sliders for years. £15 a set, nice and thick and fairly hard wearing. I've got a few sets in storage and a set of part worn sparkies :D

    These look good also but seem to have been discontinued at all outlets bar ebay?

    Always seems suspicious to me when then that happens!

    I which case: no body buy them as I need to keep stock. They're cheap compared to other new pairs.

    and if anyone wants to look 'ally' they pm me as I've a few worn knee sliders lying around for sale lol
