I bought an alpine glide slide for my 2002 Mighty-mite and loved it's smoother feel, but it placed the cables to far out towards the string. I replaced it with a simms and put it on my stalker- where it rides smooth to this day.
When I started went to replace the factory slide on my VFT patriot I went straight back to the Alpine glide slide. It provides very close to if not exact ample cable clearance as the factory slide with the rollers providing no visable wear.
My chrony showed a 2 fps increase

with the Glide slide, which I quickly took back by serving in my down cable
