I would be curious how it would perform with the new belt and original weight slider.  Maybe you tried it and I just missed it.

No, I haven't tried that . My scooter mechanic stated that because sliders push the variator closer together, it's possible that the belt can be strained if the rear pulley has run out of travel. He says that since I travel mostly at high speeds, original weight  sliders  MAY strain the belt more. I don't want to take that chance.

I believe that since I'm now using 3 rollers along with the sliders, any advantage OR disadvantage of sliders have been cancelled.

I guess that's a LONG way of saying, I'm leaving well enough alone. 😀👍🏾

Thanks Forbes. If it aint broke, dont fix it then! I have three 14 gram sliders and three 13 gram sliders on my People 150. It works now and I am trying my best to leave it alone!
