wow two examples of the aluminum not causing catastrophic problems, i'm so impressed
your right it does grind down but its not as soft and predictable as delrin and has no advantage, so why do they sell them? Because squids and posers love aluminum sliders

delrin is the best material for sliders, grinds down just right so that its not too hard for slow speed crashes but not too soft for high speed slides. Aluminum is too hard, there is no reason for it other than looks, I go for function over form

LOL...i take it woody doesn't like aluminum? muahahahhaha...

all sliders are "designed" to slide...but as woody stated, choice of material is way key as far as design...and aluminum just doesn't cut it.

slide on nice smooth asphalt you may be ok...slide on not so prime asphalt and it will flip the bike. derlin is just a much better choice by far!

"RACE RAILZ ARE THE ULTIMATE IN STREET PROTECTION, 10X MORE PROTECTION THAN SLIDERS!"


uhhh.... Never trust anything where there is no mention of the proof behind the claim.
