I think you just need to have some common sense when you look at the mounting system the slider uses. My no cuts used a beefy aluminum mount that picked up a few of the large frame bolts. It was obvious they'd hold up.

heres a shot of ones that it takes two seconds to realize they wont work in anything but a parking lot tip. Thin aluminum strap and it picks up small hardware on thin frame mounting tabs and the long stand off is a huge lever arm that will bend anything the slider is attached to.

those are not sliders. those just look like sliders. The worst is that people will actually buy those sliders and expect them to work.

Honestly it all depends on the frame slider design and the bike model. Some no-cuts are fine, some are not.

I dumped my bike for the first time last season (slippery leaves)

The sliders did their job and the only thing that got damaged was my ego.

Excellent investment IMO
