Buy a Haynes manual ... and read it. One day it will save your shoe leather.

You can be sure that it might not be slipping now but it won't be long.

It does not slip under load therefore its good.
The usable friction material is only a few mmm thick any way.
I would not be concerned.
Thanks for the advice Kev.
Brickwerks post to France anyway if not haha!
