weights
« on: January 28, 2009, 09:33:32 PM »
rightyho!

im going to buy new springs for my pro-jumps,

at first i had 100kg springs in them

i weigh around 12 stone, (i was about 13.5 when i got my first springs)

they were good for a while but they went really limp and ended up snapping while i was running :Ccry:

do i get another set of 100kgs or get 110kgs? as i am hoping to be using them alot harder and alot more often

Did you buy the stilts new, cos the springs should be under warrenty to get some new springs free, if not go for heavyer ones, because then you shouldnt bottom them when you start jumping or running again cos you can break your stilts if you bottom them out too much, as greg11 did.

I suppose it depends how much time you have had on them. If you were getting good height and finding them easy to work then upgrade, but if you haven'y had much time on them and you got them new then i might stick to 100's. But it does depend how well you are doing.

The warrenty is worth looking into if you have had them less than 3 months. And ProJump don't sell 120's anymore. I think they stopped when the compound changed. Somebody correct me if I am wrong.
