Hyfax, Sliders, how long do they last you?

[zackn291]

I've read alot of things about you guys only getting 800mi on a set of sliders.
Now how do you guys only get that when I ride mine for a whole season, when my seasons consist of 3,000-3,500km. My dad and I change them once a season and we have done that for years on all of our sleds.

I had about 1500 miles on my first set last year and they would still be in use if it wasn't for me extending the track.

Low snow conditions are hard on them. My first set only lasted 250 mi. When you can smell melting plastic thats whats going on.

400 miles and i changed mine, i probably had another 100 miles left but i'd rather be safe then sorry. I put on Schmidt Brothers low snow wheels so hopefully i'll get alot more out of them now

pulled the strap 1 hole when the sled was new,starting my third set this season,sled has 9000 miles,mine is very easy on slides but all i ride is groomed trails with plenty of snow on them

Same here I ride all over ontario. This year, my dad, his friend and I are going to try and ride 1000km in 24 hours. Were gonna do Liskard, Cochrane to Hearst and back to Cochrane. What do ya think of that Pat?

I got about 1000 miles from mine. The last ride we had low snow conditions were we stayed and I had one of my low snow wheels come loose. I'll see what I get this year

I put a set of scratchers on the MTX, seems to work great, keeps the sed cooler too.

Ya the trails are awsome up there! 2 or 3 years ago my dad and I rode out of Earlton, from the motel right off hwy 11 and we went to La Sarre, Quebec, up to Cochrane and then back down to Earlton. Snow was pretty bad out of Earlton, over heat lights were comin on like crazy.

Ya the night time ride. Thats gonna be the killer. We gotta start as early as possible so as much as possible of the ride is done in daylight.

 

[pat the rat]

the last cpl winters have been very good but at least twice in the season,we have a melt down,it doesnt melt all away but enough to turn the trails to ice,i hate it,good thing it always snows right after to bring the conditions back to normal,last year i rode till april the 6th before i called it quits,could of rode more but it was time to put both my sleds away

 

[zackn291]

Well when we head that way, we normally go during March break so I don't miss any school. Thats why snow was a little low, but the trails are still MINT!
