We've been beating up our cages and sliders pretty bad. They are all just metal and tend to dig in and bend when the hit the pavement instead of actually sliding. I think if we could get some plastic/nylon whatever they are sliders on the ends it would help alot. I've seen some people just use some kind of a cap on the ends of their sliders, what do you use? Best idea i had was a pvc end pipe but i'm pretty sure that would just break the first time it hit the ground.

i have BMX peg sliders on my bike with about 10 inches of pvc bolted to them as extended sliders ive downed my bike at about 15 two times and it slide pretty well,so the pvc might work

get some delron and throw it in the end of the cage.

delron.....isnt that a character on lord of the rings.....

A friend makes our cages...they are very similar to 905's design. He ended up making cups that slide into the hollow top mount, and then bolted regular frame sliders to them. That way, the sliders aren't solid, because they aren't bolted thru the frame into the motor. Instead of breaking stuff on REALLY hard hits, the bolts just bend.

What the hell is delron.

We tried pvc caps last night. We "tested" them first. Thrown at the ground as hard as i could they didn't crack, slid them across the parking lot out of a moving car (pusing them against the ground) they held up good. Three hard whacks with a hammer sent them flying in a million pieces...

haha pvc......


anyways...delron is a very hard plastic. call you local plastic shop, im sure you can get some there. on the web you can check out www.mcmaster.com

thats where i get all my delron from, they have great prices

JonnyJ

haha delron


you mean delrin... thats what most plastic sliders are made out of. Very light yet tough and self lubricating.

ive seen it called delron and delrin....AT THE PLASTIC SHOP

so it seems like the entire industry is confused on this one..... come on though PVC.

oh youre welcome too

JonnyJ

Hey if they'd have had delrin at home depot id have got some. But pvc was my best option. Thanks for the link though, i'll be ordering some pronto.

yeah home depot sucks for bike isht in general. they dont have bolts, dont have welding supply, dont have delrIn

Got2josh

wax it, like you would for a skate rail

JonnyJ

pretty sure that wouldn't work. The derlin idea is the best. Thats what i'm gonna go with.
