Which is better/tougher,delrin spools or aluminum?

[The Big Red One]

I'm new to the whole spool thing guys.....which should I get for spools...delrin or aluminum? I want the strongest most secure type I can get

If your talking about rear spools to lift your bike, they all work well. Alum come in a Million Colors and your not going to be tearing these things up any way. I have some Alum on several bikes that have been there for years with no trouble. On the Busa, I have Black hard plastic type and have had ZERO problems !

Either will work fine ...most people have aluminum

Yep Col I meant the rear spools. Thanks for the input....it sounds like either type works well. I just don't want my Busa sitting on the rear stand for any length of time and have the plastic delrin spools collapse and drop the bike

Both kinds have a steel bolt through the middle that attaches them to the bike, so I don't think there's a risk of the delrin type collapsing.

+ 1 Plastic works fine for me

For the rear spools I'd try to find some good Delrin ones. I think they are going to look less assed up after a few uses unless you are using plain alloy spools anyway. All the Anodized ones look assed up pretty fast.

Now there are some Combo Spools out there that offer both a lifting hard point and an extra inch or so of swingarm slider. I have a black delrin set of those I don't use.

Hey guys thanks for the crash course in spools 101

I went ahead and got the silver aluminums cause' I figured they might not marr up like Rev said the colored ones can...and my local shop had the aluminums in stock. Its good to know both work well tho......thanks again everybody
