Hi,
After riding prolonged on a car road i noticed a rattling sound from the skid. After inspecting everything and every bolt I still could not find where the sound was coming from. I'm laying the sled on its side and letting the belt spin. It seems it comes from the sliders. They are worn down to the last line just at the tight bend. (xf 800 rails) will this make a metal to metal rattling sound while riding? I'm worried it comes from the chain chase, but the ride is smooth.

you can look threw the windows and see if its metal to metal. most of the time its the 2 bolts used to push the tension on the back wheels have came off of being tight against the rear axle.

cant see any metal on the slides. The rear bolts are not loose. I don't have antistab.
