    I've noticed that every Teknic item at every outlet is on closeout. Are they done?

    Yep - Google Teknic out of business and you'll see.

    That sucks. I will be your friend and take them off your hands for $20. As long as they are size 11.

    I left 3 voicemails and sent 4 emails and have heard nothing back.

    Its a shame (although a moot point now) because i have all Teknic gear and the rest of it seems good for starter stuff.

    The left boot will not maintain a full zip. I can zip it, but after a few minutes of riding the whole zipper comes apart. Its a safety issue for me and i dont feel like i should be riding worried that my boot is going to go flipping off when i need it most. It managed to behave at the track but for only wearing them 4 times this is a bit rediculous.

    Take it to a good cobbler.... a zipper should be cheap. :nod::thumb:
    Teknic offer great value for the money... I have a few garnets for street from them (2x two piece suits) and my rainy day track one piece suit :)

    Yup a cobbler or Barnacle Bill. BB can most likely replace the zipper and it will probably be like $40.

    And i might do that now that Teknic is clearly not going to be of assistance.
