@norbar it looks from the picture that you could adjust the guide out a bit more as it says to in the instructions to have the ring be flush with the outside of the polymer guides

Yes you can adjust the guide. You get adjustment spacers for it but the instruction I got made me think it should be above the slider. Still lots of place for adjustment so run it as you like

i havent run a gamut on my dh bike so i cant say anything on the toughness of the ring, but i have one waiting to be used on my super d bike. i have put them on others bikes, very simple. i live in the desert so thick mud is not something that i see. the straitline is also simple and the person that is using it is not a regular or hard rider but i am sure it will hold up just fine. i think they make some of the best pedals.

Straitline behaves great in mud. I rode it in wet mud, dust and mud so thick the tires turn into mud balls and you can't even walk, let alone ride.

Yup. No movings parts FTW. Mud is no issue. And it stays quiet.

I think mine is 4 or 5 years old on my DH bike and still on the original guides, no complaints here. There is definitely a little extra drag since I went to a clutch derailleur but it's my DH bike so I don't care.

7 years and I'm only on my 3rd pair of sliders. Would be on 2nd if I didn't spend the last 2 years alternating between mud bogs and sand bogs. Tbh I could still use my 2nd pair but I had a spare pair. It's great.

Awesome!! Been freaquent and so tired of being ripped off on e13 and mrp parts. I ordered an extra straightline lower slider (only $8.00).
The company very good to work with, swapped the bashring for another color ( no extra charge).I decided to give the straightline amp pedals too.
i wish i looked into this some years ago, have wasted money and headaches.

Thank you! Same monkeys, different days

You just reminded me I need a new set of pedals. Had a deal on the amps in the local shop, need to ask them if they still stock them since it was in march. If not I'm let with doing some pin shenanigans in my twenty6

Check out the Straitline website - looks like they're doing a full inventory blowout. I loved their parts, so hoping they refresh the line with some newer stuff. The Amp pedals were a little small for me, but their stems and guides were ace.
