Re: [ST] Frame Sliders Question

[Erik Miner <Axeis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul from what I've read mainly in articles from I believe they're 
called Computrack, aluminum frames can be tweaked out of alignment 
pretty easy. Seems that the loads put on these frames in a crash are 
in ( geometric) planes not what the designers intended.. in other 
words the frames are very strong in one or more plans but maybe not 
in others.. but I maybe totally wrong and I think I'll call these 
Computrack people tomorrow and se if they have an opinion on sliders.
