Default AE FT VTS Sipper Conversion on a DEX210?

I'm always glazing the good AE slipper pads when I run on carpet?

Has any one rigged up the AE VTS slipper on a 210 yet?

Maybe Avid will get on making one?? If I run on really high bite carpet I fight with my slipper all day!

I'm thinking of trying the AE HT pads before going to a triple disc set up

I run the HT pads on a mix of carpet, astro, rubber matt, painted wood and floor boards. The pads hold up fine to the torment of the different surfaces and have been installed now for a good 2 months without issue. Go HT !

Im up for this as well on my 210, I use it on my lazer ZXR and is superb but will be a bit of a job to do. Maybe a good idea if whoever does design it to make the layshaft thicker in the area where the collar is inside the gearbox. I would be up for buying that.

I just jun the HT AE Pads, if I fancy a change I may look at the Vented disks which I used on my X6.

Actually thinking about it all that is needed is a fractionally longer screw and a slightly wider gear cover and its done. Anyone have any ideas on how to source a screw pretty much identical to the original but fractionally longer? Has to be of the same material.

I run the vented disks and AE pads. If I run on low bite carpet or dirt its fine. But if I run on really high bite carpet it will be okay for a few packs, then start to glaze! Then I'll be messing with it all day.

Here's a video of the high bite carpet we have in Canada. There's also video's on my page that I run on carpet like the Euro series and my slipper is fine there!

I think it comes down to running on high bite or low bite
