[ST] Frame Sliders (was) Front Master Cylinder Upgrade

["STeve Duncan" <xhippy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Matt, I think the scenario you describe is entirely possible, and it seems I 
~maybe~ remember something about it being posted here as well.  But I can't 
remember which brand of slider was involved.  I'm thinking it was not the 
Skyking units as I would have remembered it better :)))
But then again, I forget a lot these days.

Regardless of the brand, I would consider a "no speed" tip-over breaking the 
frame due to frame sliders a truly freakish event, and not something that 
would dissuade me from installing them.  YMMV.  :)   Personally, I consider 
the Skyking sliders to be just as important as all my riding gear.  They are 
safety gear for the bike, IMHO.
