Paulie B Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 No worries I was pretty UN-impressed with my aftermarket TM designs slider. Your chains too tight or your too fat. You could try chain waxing it. That will help it slide and keep your chain from rusting too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06BCBANSHEE Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Really? Cause i was very inpressed with my TM designworks slider kit. Its extrmely thick, and a good design. I rode all weekend and there is only a tiny bit worn through, but thats normal. I weigh 200 lbs with gear on, so i dont consuder that fat lol. I also chain wax the chain, and dont leave it too tight. I have 1.5" of slack at the middle of the chain. Seemed to work great so im happy with it. Fuck stock!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took me about a month to wear 1/2 inch slot into my TM. I figered it would have worn slower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06BCBANSHEE Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Ya mine has worn about a 1/4" through the new chain slider, but i fugure that is normal and wont wear through much more. Ive been searching like crazy and havent gotten a concrete answer for proper chain slack, its about 1" of slack with me pushing down on the grab bar. 1.5 with no pressure on the grab bar. This seems good correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie B Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 I do the 2 figers deal on mine, thats about 1" + or - I did notice that once the TM wears down to the chain rollors, the amount of wear slow down a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that with weight beig pushed down on it or no? Ya i figured it would wear a bit, but should stop, like u said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats with the swinger parallel to the ground and the chain is tightest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 TM. Designwoks all the way. It is made out of a self lubercating plastic. I believe it is graphite impregnated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
