I was wondering if anyone has any fedback about frame sliders. I can get those $50 on trademe for my bike, but apparently as per one of KB members:
What do u guys think of it?...Don't get cheap ones, they are likely to bite into the tarmac and flip your bike or snap off bits of the frame / engine....
I think the ones on trademe are alloy whether other are rubber. Alloy is pretty soft i would say.
I think the chrome or carbon looking knobs are just for the looks on the outside while the inside is still made of the black delrin (plastic).
I bought the cheap crash knobs off ebay for the old 929 for cheap but I did not use the bolts that came with it. I bought some better bolts from a hardware shop (at least that is what I was told by the bolt shop). I have seen some of the cheap bolts snap off in the event of a slide while the better bolts should just bend protecting the fairing..

I think i will give those $50 dollar ones a chance, since im broke atm and any protection is better than nothing, however, i'll get better bolts.
I'll let you guys know how good they are (quality wise - im not going to drop my bike on purpose to see), i will probably be getting them some time next week. (my bike is at panel beaters now).

This has been discussed a few times now........PLASTIC:
- Acetyl-An engineering plastic well suited for the role of crash bung, However the material is a little brittle and of more concern is the danger of spontaneous combustion and the consequent release of formaldehyde.
- Urethane-The material used for skateboard wheels. This material is to soft, a real danger of the bung ripping through the holding bolt exists.
- Nylon-The mother lode. [Nylotron, or Nylon 6] Available from Engineering plastics or Ludowici.
Got mine from Rapidart in Hamilton. When the time came they did their job well (the right hand side anyway). Partly ground away and about a 5 degree bend in the bolt but no frame damage and kept the radiator clear of the ground so dirt cheap at $150.
