Maxwell, this is just an excuse for you to try some carbon fiber rails. Good luck. I hope they don't stiff you.
ya im not sure i think these rails are cnc machined who knows about the supplier....
Well from a metalurgical standpoint with me being a metalurgist, I cant remember the exact temp for aluminum when it gets to its austinitic point (change in metal structure) but when they bake powder coating at 387ishºF range, this is way below the point that affects the material change in aluminum. It would have to been left in the oven at a way higher temp for a hell of a long time to weaken the structure. I've had tons of aluminum stuff done including sportbike wheels which is powdercoating was going to affect them I would never do it (Dont want a motorcycle wheel braking at 200+km) and have never had a problem. I have a buddys thats a powder coater and have never heard of a problem occuring from the bake.
Take some better close up pics at the bend point if you dont mind, from the ones you posted there doesnt seem to be any stresses in the coating at the bend point which makes me thing they were bent during the manufacturing process.
I run Ice Age on two sleds and to date have had no problems, both are 2 riding seasons old - so maybe something has changes in the last couple of years, as suggested, maybe they are now manufactured oversees?
it goes.
sledding.
hockey.
quadding.
thats the order , its a preferance.
ran into this years ago , was told that the Process not so much the heat had caused the bending of the rails , they were stock 141 rails that bent, from polaris , didnt learn , and ruined at set of M10 141 rails as well , never had a set of polished rails bend
wait until your first BJ..... your list will quickly change...
suck man...,can't see this happening BUT maybe when backing off a sled deck..The rear of the track hits the ground first and alot of weight in the middle when the sled is backing off until the skis touch the ground...Can't see that happening though.

I remember that story, when he ordered 10 tequila shots and the bartender asked what the occaision was....Bogg said he was celebrating his first BJ and the 'tender offered to buy him one more. Bogg said "if 10 won't get the taste out of my mouth, 11 sure as hell won't...."I heard a lot changed for you after you gave your 1st.....
