Daniel, I have used Bainbridge slides on my original mast (Kemp) and existing mast (ZSpars) without any jamming problems.

Further to last message ..... the site you indicated also sells Selden slides which are much more expensive but look like the right shape but .... size? ...

You might be better off looking at the Bainbridge site ...
