Title: Tree sliders
Post by: tonycougar on September 19, 2007, 17:36:26

I am on the lookout for some tree sliders for my 90, and I've seen this company called Mill services that do them, and quite reasonable priced.
My question is:-

Has anyone used them and are they any good?

Also the business has apparently just changed hands and someone on my other club said someone on here knows the owner. Is that true, does anyone know him?

I see you got the angled ones, I considered them, but decided against them.

Excuse my ignorance but what's the benefit of "the angle"?

i have normal rock sliders & prefer them over "treebars"  as i noticed you get hooked up on trees & stuff due to the sticky out bit

I think I have asked that before and nobody gave me a sensible answer, just seems to me they look better, or maybe perhaps the angle makes them a better step.

think theve just done it to look a little bit different as everyone does them the usual way just about.
they will have there plus and minuses, such as fold in easier with an impact from the side, such as sliding into something, but should you drop onto a stump or something, then perhaps have a bit more strength, but i dont think there is much in it one way or the other.

I'd guess its due to the optimissed angle of impact?
