I've done the search on frame sliders and everyone says vortex are the best. I am curious if anyone has experience with there aluminum frame sliders as opposed to the plastic ones. My bike is silver and red and I am sure the red plastic frame slider will not match the paint, so I figure I can paint the aluminum to match. Any thoughts on the protection value of the aluminum vs plastic? Has anyone gone down with aluminums? How did they hold up?

 

ive heard people say that aluminum one snap off sometimes and end up causing more damage in the end but im not sure how true that is

 

anything metal has the tendency to catch on pavement and thus may flip the bike causing more damage

 

woodcraft plastic sliders ftw

 

aluminum sliders are a BAD idea
stick with delrin, Vortex black delrin sliders look fine on a silver/red F4i

 

O.k. so delrin I will go, anybody know were I get beat this price? Cheapest I've found http://www.pitposse.com/vofrsl1.html $59.95 +tax and shippin and duty.

 

shoot me a pm before you buy them, I may can help
