I'll explain Spud

Normal Hoofies cost £18
Replacement rubbers for them cost £10

New bolt on style Hoofies kit will be about £10
Replacement rubber for them about £5 (and may be reversable (yet to try and depends on the wear patten) so might work out about £2-50 an end )

In other words the new ones look better and cost 1/2 the price (and maybe 1/4 of the price if I can use both ends)
And another good bit is the new ones don't slip to the side like tyre socks (at least mine haven't yet)

Hence the want to change  :biggrin:

Ok just seems like it would be a big effort for  that..could be worth it though.

They are holding up well so far and this weekend I should get a few hours on them
I'm still sorting out a few production problems with making the studs to fix them so not long now

I've got a lot on at work at the moment but it should calm down in a week or so and I'll be able to get some made up and you will be first in line Nero  :thumbs:

Changing costs also involve 2 new hooves...can't remember how much they are, but it all adds up  ;)

But that depends on the condition of your hoofs. if you have always had tire socks on them you wouldnt need to would you?

Hi All

I've had Man flu recently and as most of you know I seem to invent when I'm ill

So here are the latest Hoofies they are a little more permanent that the other type (take about 10 mins a hoof to change) and depending on where they wear they may be reversable (not sure about that yet only had them on for about 6 hrs)

You have to have a set of the bolt-on rubbers that are in good condition to fit them to (baddly worn ones won't work well)

And a set of special bolts and nuts (which I would supply in the kit)

Only for the bolt-on type obviously but they should work out a lot cheaper than the current ones

I was thinking about selling a kit with all the bolts and a set of rubbers and then you could just buy rubbers at a lesser cost

So have a look at the pics and give me your comments

Jason  :Hoofies2:



Fantastic!!!! Projump should order a 1000 off you and sell them on their site  ;D

And for those of us that are running the molded, beige hoof style (i.e. no visible bolts anywhere, on my poweriser pros), what options are available?  We just gotta do the strap-on tyre socks?

I would oreder some more PJ hoofs before you use the hoofies. I am not all that sure why but jason has always said with these that the hoof rubber needs to be in pretty good condition.

the hoofies wont last longer than you PJ hoofs as essentially they are protecting and giving extra grip to that hoof but...the hoofies will extend the life of your hoofs by a lot. The hoofies take the punishment. And they will last lots and lots longer than just PJ rubber alone.

The PJ rubbers should be in good condition as the Hoofie rubber will then wear evenly
If you have metal showing through I would change them before you fit the Hoofies

Yes they should last longer than the PJ rubbers just make sure you fit them as shown with the holes in the right place then you can turn them round (It's obvious when you see them on) also keep an eye on them and when they wear right down to the first webbing turn them round (If you wear hoofs unevenly might be worth swapping left for right when they start to wear

So as the replacement rubbers cost £6 including p&p that makes £3 per wear so at £15 a set of PJ hoofs you can see the saving

The one thing I have found is the better you get the faster all types of hoofs wear
