So, it's completely up to you what you do. After all, it's your bike.
I understand what you're saying and these may not be "as good" as frame sliders that you have to cut your plastic... but they seem to be better than many of the other "no-cuts" according to several post I've read where people went down with these exact no-cuts that I installed and they did their job just fine. I guess we'll see if and when I "test" them...hopefully I won't have to. *fingers crossed*
