So last weekend I hit a "new" track (Palmer Motorsports Park, but run backwards). There were two places where I was dragging knee a lot and when I got back I noticed that the wear on my pucks is in a different place than it had been.

Before, the wear tended to be on the leading edge of the puck... even with the pucks stuck onto the Velcro patch as far "forward" (to the inside of the knee) as they'd go.

New wear is much more towards the trailing edge and higher up on the puck.

Wondering why. Thinking it might be some combination of a little more lean angle, BP a little more off the seat, and not sticking my leg out as much "reaching" for the ground.

Any ideas?
