I give you..ghetto slider

[Yknot]

In my desperation to replace a busted slider by Wednesday's track day, I crafted this ghetto slider from parts at the big orange store (um Home Depot)






It is essentially 3/8 - 1/2 galvinized coupler, 1/2"x3" threaded pipe, 1/2" cap, 3/8-16 threaded rod, washers and nuts.

Not sure how it will work but I hate going on the track without sliders, maybe I should safety wire it. Anyone do something similar or have an opinion? Just curious.

That's gonna dig in and Cart wheel your bike...I have a beefy set of derlin sliders that you can rig and would be much better... I'm in Burlington..just come get them free..

Hmmm...that's my fear. I thought it would just grind if it touched. I can thread plastic in instead. Or just take the damn things off and take my chances..

I have a bnew set they are all yours prob take 5 min to bolt them up...they may be the same size thread but if not HD bolts and some thread lock... Done but they are no wood crafts but they are derlin that slides nice...

Plastics?? People race with plastics.. Nothing but hard parts if no slidey...

j/k point taken, it does have some give due to the threaded rod but I know what your saying..

Yeah, I'd be afraid that those sliders would be too tough. Something's going to break and I'd be worried about the frame. Grab some delrin ones and start with those. Or put your unmolested slider on the side that you are going to crash on.

I am down 93 right off rt 62 pretty easy to find and here is a pic and you may just need bolts???? But worth a try.....

I don't know if they would come out past my case, the ones I have were about 4.5" long. How long are they about?

I can maybe get some delrin from work tomorrow or check local shop for something.

Tried to get a set on the forum but no luck, got desperate, lost head, back now.

I'll grab some delrin from work.
