🔥 QUICK TECH TIP – HYFAX COOLING TRICK 🔥
Alright guys, here’s an old-school trick that still has some real mechanical logic behind it, especially for hard pack, ice riding, or radar/lake runs.
👉 You can drill small, shallow holes into your hyfax (sliders) to help with cooling and lubrication.
The idea is NOT to drill all the way through. You just want shallow holes deep enough to hold snow and ice. As you ride, snow packs into those holes, melts slightly, and helps create a thin lubrication film between the rail and the slider. That helps reduce friction and heat buildup.
This can help: ✔ Reduce slider overheating
✔ Reduce drag
✔ Improve durability in low snow conditions
✔ Help maintain speed on hard surfaces
⚠️ IMPORTANT: • Do NOT drill through the slider
• Use small holes and space them evenly
• Don’t remove too much material or you weaken the hyfax
This trick works best in hard pack or icy conditions. Deep snow usually cools sliders naturally.
Sometimes the old-school mechanical tricks still have solid engineering behind them.
If you’ve ever tried this, comment below and share your results. Always cool seeing real-world testing from riders and techs.
