New Lucid On-track with 1/4"-20 holes

Been using them in beta testing the past year and im really enjoying the added 1/4" 20 thread tapped into them. I added eye bolts to mine for lanyarding my lucid grips and stringers to. Also works great for tying a cooler to the rear mounted ones to keep it from sliding.

I like the cross-section they used with everything nicely chamfered.  Looks like a great track.

I always wonder why 8" of extruded aluminum costs $20+ dollars.  Not targeting Lucid, all the manufacturers charge roughly the same.

Im not sure why i know he planned his pricing to be compatible with the market though.

I like the Lucid track design better than the others, so I'll stop whining.  Thanks for letting us know about them.

Np tinker hope you enjoy em!

I don't think 20+ is out of line. To make this part need some planning and machining, plating, handling and packaging and shipping plus pay the people doing the work
The material is made with a custom extrusion which is a mold to make the shape of the material (not cheap). Extruding is like a play dough toy that handles molten aluminum. The material usually comes in 20 foot bars. Then after that is made you need to cut and trim the length then put the holes and chamfers which means you need a 100,000.00 dollar or more cnc machines to make the holes. To keep competitive maybe more machines depending on the quantity of pieces you plan to make. The endmills, drills, countersinks, saw blades and the deburring of the holes and edges (parts and labor) then it needs cleaning, quality control measures shipping to the platers for the anodize to be put on then the packaging labelling and shipping. And I might have left something out but this is why it cost 20+ to make the part. Hope he has enough left over to pay himself.

Thank you, reelfish.  I used to manage the start-up for these kinds of production systems, both large- and small-scale, and can guess, roughly, the costs.  But good points, nonetheless.

How wide are these tracks? I don't see the width spec anywhere on the web site.

On  a revo 16 or AI, would this overhang into the footwell area if installed in front of the side pockets?
