"Klucky Pucks"

[PhiSig1071]

I got a new suit a couple weeks ago, and it didn't come with kneepucks. I have always wanted to try a set of the Woodcraft knee pucks, which are called "Klucky Pucks", but I never did because they are kind of expensive, about $40 a set. I have used IXS, Teknic, AGVSport, and Komodo pucks before. Well, I decided to do a trackday at Barber this past weekend (pics in another thread) and I also decided that I could either spend $25-$30 on a set of pucks I didn't like or $40 on a set of pucks that are supposed to be the best.

All I have to say about spending the $40, they're worth every penny!

The velcro is amazingly strong, they attached easily and quickly, and I had to adjust them once (for proper placement) and they were actually quite a pain in the ass to get off! The build quality is outstanding, the pucks are uniform, curved slightly on the back for better fit, attached very strongly, and the leather that the velcro is on is very good quality.

Now, the best part, the feel. They are amazing when they're on the ground. I don't know how this is possible, but somehow they combine the two best things about a puck. They're hard, and wear well, and they give excellent feel. As soon as I touched a knee down they gave great feel without tugging or wearing excessively like softer pucks (AGV/Komodo) and they are firm and slide very smooth like hard pucks (IXS).

I will never touch a knee on anything other than Klucky Pucks!

If you are talking about the sparkies, they aren't good. They are for being a hooligan and that's about it. They are real soft and the metal catches on the pavement very easily. It's a very rough ride for your knees as opposed to the klucky pucks.

i have only used my agv pucks, loved the feel were really smooth, but they wore down really fast and i really only drag knee at teh gap, but since im moving, im sure that will change shortly

since we are talking pucks, how do the whiz pucks feel?

I have never tried them, sparky or regular. I might try them at some point for one reason, and one reason only, I want this knee puck:

But I have heard that Klucky's are better.

Give the man a prize!

Yep, that's actually the flag of the Isle of Mann, not officially affiliated with the race, but it's a widely recognized symbol.

Rider, I have heard good things about leather pucks, I'll have to try them sometime.

Kluckys are rumored to be awesome.

I have teknic speedstar ceramics that I'm itching to get down on and see how they compare to the chicane shitpieces that came with my pants.

People seem to either love or hate the leather pucks.

I've heard that leather takes a while to get used to because it can feel like it's grabbing. Whereas other pucks slide very smooth.

I recently saw them somewhere on sale for 35 bucks... I can't recall where it was though. Try googling it under shopping and see if it pops up.
