What is the type of delrin that is the strongest? I got a foot of 1 5/8 round Acetron that this guy said was strong but when I tested it by letting the bike fall, it dragged 1 circle and grinded half way down! F-ing BS. Anyone know?

 

Poop......

 

Brilliant

 

Aluminum!

 

ask atown what he's using. my sliders are barely even touched.

 

I always thought "DERLIN" was the type it was

I didn't think there was different grades of derlin, I thought derlin indicated the grade of plastic


+1 on aluminum sliders though, mine have hit like 50 times already and are barely smashed. One set should damn near last you the life of your bike

my jalopy with aluminum sliders

 

I had aluminum ones that a friend made for me and they dug into the asphalt and flipped it and bad news

 

if it went down fast enough for aluminum to catch chances are derlin would have just snapped right off instantly and your cage would have dug in instead, or damaged the end of your cage

 

i went down at 40+ on the street no flippy no breaky

but the TS sliders ive seen blow apart many times from simple parking lot drops, so i would think that there must be better grades of delrin..?

 

I low sided at around 50-55mph, aluminum just slid tell it hit the grass then flipped

Yet the two sets of derlin I ran a couple years ago, both broke from dropping a 10mph or slower wheelie

not wanting to wait on more derlin, I rode anyways, smashed the end of my shitty cage lol

 

i dont know what atown uses but the **** is like indestructable

 

some pics of my sliders. taken one real hard lot drop and real hard street drop and numerous slide outs from drifting and theyre barely touched. oh and one of my dog cuz he's super rad

 

damn thats 1/2 a tree

 

that is a sweet dog. But you gotta teach him to quit bringing all the sticks back that you throw in your neighbors yard

 

lol thats his favorite stick. keeps trying to bring that big ******* thing in the house too. sometimes he runs with hit holding the end and it hits the ground and almost pole vaults his *** lol

 

there is many different grades of delrin i use a grade that is 2 up from the cheapest kind cause i still get it at the cheep price which is still not hat cheep. i sound like a damn bird cheep cheep LOL. But you can also get delrin that is NASA quality which is like 143$ per foot.

 

im interested to see how much my sliders that came with my FI cage are gonna last me...

 

I think the FI ones are fairly strong, I have a couple friends that run FI's and there sliders have held up good


ahh thats good to know, do you know of any decent online sources for delrin that sells in different grades?

 

cool dog sdf

 

where would i buy this stuff
