Not sure but the rods do come out of the conventional ones, maybe this is the problem or simply the distraction for others.

I have some full titanium sliders like the 1st post but they are a normal shape puck..

They are cool, dusk time knee down action is awesome for ya mates to watch. Great until you wear through. I was on a dodgy bit of road once near the coast in kent and it's sort of made of sections rather than tarmac surface. I managed to snag the titanium sheet (where it was worn through and edge was showing) on that particular surface. It gave quite an unsettling kick.

Got them now and first impressions are good. Slide quite smoothly and give awesome sparks, so much so you can see the road light up yourself!

Metal is thin tho and i can imagine once worn through the kick described above could be a bit dodgy.
