    Frame Sliders

    The properties of each are listed here: Clicky Unsure of exactly what nylon and which Delrin product each uses, but you cal also google "delrin versus nylon" and find lots of info. I am unsure of the UV effects of both, but would think that the Delrin ® may have an edge as to durability over...

    Rain Riding

    The Pinlock works. It's the most fog resistant system I've ever used. Webbikeworld review: Clicky Boots: I have both the Oxtar's and Sidi's. The Sidi on-road sympatex has never left my feet wet. I've ridden the Sidi's in 8 hours of rain, and had dry feet. The Oxtar's were not as dry...
