New Dupont slide length

[yox185]

If anyone has a set of the new slides, not installed yet, I'm looking for the measurement of how far back the Vespel inserts go. I'm curious if it extends to the back upturn on the XTX rails. Thanks.

The Vespel stops just short of the tip up right behind the rear most small idler wheel. It is no big deal as the Original hyfax never wore on the tip up part of the rail.

40-11/16" from the front to the very end of the Vespel. Just enough for a 121" track.

Great for the 121 riders but what about the 128's, the 136's and the 144 incher's?
What are these guys to do, or does it not matter on the XTX's?

I just measured one of my old slides. The extreme wear stops at 46 - 46 1/2". So to any XTX guys, are you getting a lot of wear with these Vespel slides right behind the last set of wheels?
