Thanks MickW for the links. The local bike shop can get them but bloody expensive. I will keep looking for an aftermarket slide but don’t think I’ll get one some how.
Hey Hypoman that was actualy mentioned by the bike shoips owner here. He said he new a bunch of people who have done that. I have also contacted a plastics company here in Australia who make that polyethalene (or what ever it is called) that is a low friction plastic they use on boat trailer slides. I can get 4 pieces cut to size, 10mm x 40mm x 540mm for $22, I inquared about that size so I have a little to play with and chop out if needed. At the moment, because I’m a real cheap bastard and funds are tight, I have a piece of really heavy duty rubber hose on there. The hose is 1 1/2 inch with a wall thicknes of 6mm. I cut a strip out around 400mm long and about 40mm wide. Got a thick, wide industrial cable tie and but a hole in it and screwed that to the swing arm then ran the hose and cable tide it in place. I have been for a hand full of rides, not holding back either, and it is still holding stable at the moment. A slight discolouration where the chain touch it but hasn’t start to cut into it yet. When it does I thin it will let go very quickly. I know it is very dodgy but it will work till I get a new one.
