So after my little Err accident a couple of weeks ago
I've been looking into getting some Frame\Crash Sliders, I know that R&G are a fairly popular brand here in the UK but does anyone have any others they'd recommend ?
I wouldn't recommend anything other than R&G, Evotech, or Kwak OEM - This is one thing you do not want to try and save money on, since its sole purpose is to help you save money if you are unlucky enough to actually need it!
Whatever brand you get, you probably want to avoid the no cut frame sliders. They can pivot out of the way and crack things anyways. The cut versions are much more resistant to that as they typically don't have any pivot points and the only real risk is that they might catch at speed. But, so would no cut ones.
If you've got plastic that's been cracked, I've had good experience with plastifix and a dremel. The kit isn't that expensive and the repairs appear to be pretty strong.

Thanks i didn't even realise there were 2 types of fitment i just assumed they all fitted bolt on etc. I think i'm leaning towards the R&G at the moment which i believe is a cut frame slider or at lease it looks more like it.

I have Puig Pro sliders. I haven't "tested" them out yet, but have always felt they'll do the job when called upon. Weren't too bad install-wise either.
