Knee dragger

Nothing provides a postive feel like the leather pucks do. They have a TON of feel.
 
Hahaha! Cue HOT CARL JOKES!
 
A&G x1,000,000,000!!!
The leather not only gives great feedback, but you can dig one into the pavement and slow down a bit more and turn the bike on your knee pretty easily

How come people are using so much of their knee pressure?

I tried A&G (not endurance) and felt they were too grabby.
I used the vanson ones for a little bit, but now I use the Woodcraft Klucky's
But like Lazerus they last me forever. I use my knee as a feeler gage not as a pivot point. Although on some tighter corners i'll use my knee to push the bike up, and in those cases I don't want the slider to dig in, but to glide across the asphalt.

I've been running these for 3 or 4 years now.

I used to drag knee a lot too, to the point of wearing out plastic sliders in a session. They're stupid loud but they last forever, so I don't really care. I've got earplugs in anyways. They're goddamn indestructable, I don't know what it takes to wear them down but I haven't been able to do it.

Yes, they're really expensive. But then again, I had a track weekend where my puck bill was almost 100$.

Interesting quote from Tigert

My riding style requires a serious amount of knee pressure on the ground

I'm curious as to why
 
I spent several seasons on A&G leather pucks and loved them, but went through them pretty quickly until I started to lap a little faster. Seems the faster I went the less pressure I placed on the pucks and that reduced the wear and made them last longer. When I was finally persuaded to try a plastic pucks, I didn't like them at all since it felt like they were "greasy" ie., no grab. Now plastic pucks are all I use. Like Ernie said, the Intuitive are a good value.

Oh, and I really like the Helimot endurance pucks with the ceramic inserts. Last FOREVER and sounds like your dragging a load of sheet metal when you touch 'em down.
 
Just picked up some A&G PLastic pucks, cant wait to try em out at Laguna on the 25th. Woot.......
