Post by: Paul-Self on October 21, 2007, 08:37:47 PM

Sorry for the really rubbish quality pic was taken at 8pm in a garage with the light on on a mobile phone lol

I'd just caught up with you by breaking a hoof and now you have to show off and break another one  ;D

On a more serious note I think the main reason mine broke was that the bottom bearings had worn out so mush that every time I jumped the spacer bar was impacting the hoof (made a loud clicking noise )the new ones (with new bronze bearings) are almost silent when I land so it's worth changing the bottom bearings on a regular basis might make the hoofs last longer

Nuts thats annoying. From my experience I have found that the version of the hoof you have is weaker than the other tapered version which doesnt have the bend in it where it snapped on yours. It just gradually gets thinner like the spring does. Maybe worth giving those a try?

Here Lies Hoof number 2,
may this second hoof sleep, bless its soul,
may it rest in peace un-bocked, without the constant
rubbing against path and road...without the fear of
being wrapped in a bike tyre, or mistreated by its owner.
ahmen Hoof

rubber to rubber, hoof to hoof.

haha :P unlucky paul  ;D
