divernb 0 #1 Posted June 7, 2006 I've been told that Velocity sliders are the same size on all models 79-120 is this true? If not does anyone know what the stock measurement of a Velo 111 slider is? Thanks, Nick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cloudi 0 #2 June 7, 2006 Hey Nick. I'll check on that for you when I'm at work. You know, that whole annoying, "ask the manufacturer" thingy... Kim Watch as I attempt, with no slight of hand, to apply logic and reason. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cloudi 0 #4 June 7, 2006 Sorry, I couldn't resist. Someone on here may know. Are you having problems with the openings? Kim Watch as I attempt, with no slight of hand, to apply logic and reason. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
divernb 0 #5 June 7, 2006 No I just got a used 111 and it's not the orignal slider. The slider is a PD slider but not sure if it's the right size. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

divernb 0 #10 June 8, 2006 And why isn't the main canopy section filled out in your profile? Coming from the guy that should be 3/4 of the way to China by now as often you "Dig" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roel 0 #11 June 8, 2006 I just would like to comment that I am really happy with PD customer service. I was having probs with the openings. The slider wanted to stay up causing the canopy to twist and turn during the snivel phase. I contacted PD and it turned out that the sliders come in 2 sizes and I had the bigger size. They sent me a temporary replacement (they did not have one in my colors in stock) to check if the openings improved. They did, I sent back my old one and the temporary replacement and made me a smaller one. No costs.

geocar 0 #12 December 26, 2021 I take this post again ... From what I read there are two sizes of sliders for Velocity ... so I assume I can mount the 84 slider on the 79, is that correct? Now I have the 79 with removable slider (of 79) but I would like to mount the collapsible one (of 84) ... Comparing them the removable 79 is smaller than the collapsible one of 84 ...
