I got mine dirt cheap, for £95 from a shop keeper I know.
I weigh 65kg and figured that as he only had two in stock, a child pair and an adult pair, that he was probable to have picked a mid-weight adult/child. And with the lower bracket of bocks being for 60kg and upward. I think probability favoured me that these were likely to be of a good enough weight for me.
Any way I can know for sure though?

If it helps ^

The frame as round holes so look like PJ's
If there's a yellow man on bock on the metal that bounces on to the bottom of the foot plate and the calf foam says Pro-jump ( big clue ) their .... pro-jumps ! ( Or good copies :-\ )
-
yeah, the wee yellow man is there! awesome, no way to figure out what weight they were designed for though? No serial number hidden anywhere or anything?
-
Sorry not really :-\
But your 65Kg so even the lightest pair would be alright for you to use.
If their more than 90Kg spring you may have problem learning but their more likely to be 70-80's so their more likely the right size for you !?

Thats what they look like, i'm much better now than i was a couple of days ago. I tripped on a tuft of hard grass at the end :P
They look too light/just right?
-
Hard to tell grass maybe soft to fall if you don't wear safety pads but not easy to bounce on !
From what I can see their fine for you, once you get on a hard surface with pads on !?
-
look at the bottom end of the spring, is there a number painted on it?

That's batch number ???
My 110's have 114 writen on them ?
-
Becky is right, look on the bottom of the spring and their should be a number written on to them to indicate spring weight
My 110's have 114 writen on them ?
Hence your springs are for 114kg

XarnuSonci doesn't think it may not be weight either ?

Actually if you read Sprogs comment properly you will see that the number on the bottom is weight for FlyingLocust stilts but batch number for PoweriSers:
Have a look on the end of them PJ ones have a number on the bottom front (the bit under the bracket that holds the hoof on) mine have 121 on them I weigh 17 stone and had trouble bending them at first
Jason, poweriSers do not have this, they instead have the batch number in that location. Some do have the bottom weight limit (50, 70 or 90) written on the actual end of the spring though.
As he has FlyingLocust stilts then the number on the bottom should refer to the spring strength

If it's scribbled on in Pen, then mine are 63.
-
Then they are 60's :)
You'll probably start to bottom them out when you get the hang of it but they'll be fine for a few weeks hopefully.

Well, doing the usual stupid things you do with new toys I gave a friend a piggy back today. he also weighed like 60K, and we didn't bottom out whilst walking. just a bit of bend in the spring.

When I was making Fusion I did try a pair of T-rex I could just about bock on them, by the way I'm 105Kg :o ;D
But if you want to go for a real piggyback bock I've got the only that can take our weight :biggrin:
