I guess my question is - why Delrin? There can't be that big of a weigh savings over the aluminum and the aluminum ones are stronger I would imagine. They're both fairly inexpensive.

probably to make them double as swingarm sliders better, the AL can catch easier on concrete instead of sliding like the delrin should be more likely to do
