Drivers

[bucknaked]

Hey guys I have a strange issue, I am not real sure what happened but basically I was riding out on an icy trail, one of my buddies stopped because his sled was getting hot, it was at night and it was unusually warm. He let his sled cool down and everyone took off, when I tried to go my sled wouldn't move, I had seen something similar when the hyfaxes got hot and melted into the track clips I tipped the sled on it's side and the track pulled away without issue. I tried pulling on the track and it wouldn't budge, after a few good pulls it finally released and you could see where the rubber had actually melted to my Avid Drivers, I rode the rest of the way out without issue. Yesterday while riding my track started ratcheting which I thought was weird, so we tightened the track up which helped a little, so I tipped the sled on it's side and noticed that the drivers that still had rubber on them were slightly rounded. Have any of you ever seen this? I am going to pull the drivers off and turn them around and see if that seems to fix the issue. Thanks in advance, sorry for the Novel.

I had slider melt off and stick to the drivers on a cold morning spring riding. Just took a knife and broke and cut it off

Yep also had it happen to me last season, had the plastic melt to the coggs. Just used a knife to cut the plastic off.
