QuoteAs far as the Ti toe sliders, there is nothing in the rule book saying you cant have them. 8)

Yes there is, 2004 CCS rulebook:

5.1.5 Knee and toe sliders that emit sparks are prohibited.

Roger was having a problen with his toes dragging. I observed his riding pretty closely. His toes were firmly up on the pegs, so he really needed rear sets.

If you watch MotoGP, the peg placement is well above the axle line of the bike. This allows for extreme lean angle. (I know no one in CCS is going to get that kind of lean angle) However, rearrsets will change your foot position just enough to allow the toes to clear pavement. Kind of an expensive solution, but hey, when does lack of money prevent any of us from racing? ;) ;D

Do or do not, there is no "try".

I used the oxtars also, I really liked them once broke in. You can get replacement, plastic toe sliders too, Or if you have kids feet like myself
( size 8 ) you don't have to worry about draggin' toes.

QuoteThat is one of the reasons I refuse to wear a wedding ring! Those things are dangerous I tell you!!!

I stopped wearing mine because too many men were trying to seduce me.   :o

(Then again that was 16 years ago, this may not happen any more at my 'current' age)

I guess I missed that, it must not have been there in 03, I thought I checked before I bought those oxtars late last year. Anyway they passed tech, I guess the tech guys dont know the rules either. ;D

Unfortunately most boots only go down to size 7. I do wear a size 6 in some shoes/boots.

Passing tech does not mean that you are in compliance with all the rules. They are checking for safety related items.
