Muchos gracias for the offer though...but I'd feel terrible if you had to go through all that trouble for my sake.

Nah, I'm going to pull mine off anyway and see what the deal is. But I think I'll still put some loctite on them before torqing them back in.

I'll post pics once they're in.

I got the intuitive ones but I saw a set from Moriwaki and they look good also.

I don't think Loctite is necessary, if the bolts are torqued to correct values.

Yea, I didn't loctite them either, just torqued them down to the what the manual indicated.

We've had plenty of bikes go down with the alloy sliders on and haven't done ****. Anyway, each to their own. And like the guy above, most guys just put them on for show. When that's the case, annodised alloy is gonna be heaps beter lookin than black plasitc no? Haha

Just who is "the guy above". And you have GOT to be kidding about adding frame sliders just for show!

I think that would be me, I said I picked the carbon look sliders caused I liked the look of them. I would hope they are more then just for show though (you guys have me second guessing that now), although I'd love to never find out

.

I just got new sliders and wanted to make sure I put the correct torque on them. 29 is the correct torque for the 954 frame slider bolts right?
Thanks,
Gary

You'd be surprised Bacchus.
But anyway, I've sold heaps of them. Of the guys that have gone down, no damage that was more than ordinary sliders. The guy that makes them just binned his SP1 racing it. They saved plenty, damaged nothing. Just an option for guys that want something different.

Symonjester has the carbon fiber ones w/aluminum caps and they saved his bike not too long ago.

Shame on you Bacchus for not giving an Aussie a 'Fair go!'. That’s not like you and isn't going to look good on your adoption papers.

Oops! Misread his statement earlier - I thought he meant putting "any" sliders on was for show for most people. Sorry Sook
