bolts and nuts

[aidanh1]

the bolts and nuts on my pro jumps / bock's have started to make strange noises is this normal as i have tried tightening thm but there already fully tightend

is this just that the bolts are starting to wear in or that there braking?

[rickbicker26]

do u mean like a creeking sound when you walk

[aidanh1]

well there is a creeking but also a feel of like sliping or cracking but ive checked everything and there all fine tight and not worn

[Dark Knight]

  Don't tighten too much !
They should have been OK.
What you maybe hearing is the spring, new springs are a little stiff to start with but soon become more flexable.
Or it could be ...... The white brick fallen out ( A small spacer ) Do a search for WHITE BRICK.
You should also read up about TYRE BOOTS

[aidanh1]

ahh thanks 

ill check were about's is the white spacer

what are tyre boots

[rickbicker26]

just a normal bike tyre cut into a couple lengths and held there with a couple of jubilee clips..
the creeking should go by itself in time, mine did

[Dark Knight]

ahh thanks 

ill check were about's is the white spacer

what are tyre boots

The white spacer should be ( not all have them ) Infront of the spring where the metal bar from the foot plate meet it !
Boots save the rubber on the hoofs and can give better grip !
If you use the " Search " option at the top of the page you'll find lots about both  
Check MOD topics !?

[aidanh1]

what would the tyre boot do does it stop the squeeking or is it to replace the white spacer if it is missing

p.s i still dont no were this spacer is 

[aidanh1]

ahh ok thanks good tip and just forget my other post i was making it when u sent tht 

ill check for that spacer

and dark dont worry about the bolts i didnt tighten them just cheked to see if they were loose

[aidanh1]

right im really wondering if i wanted to protect my spring could i use a old bike tyre losely put on? so the spring still moved and tape

also the protection pads for wrist and elboes the adult ones what are there names?

Inner tubes, Hockey tape, Gaffer tape over the bubble rap.

I left the bubble rap on and then covered it in gaffer tape then put a strip of hazard tape down to make it look good

[aidanh1]

good way of prtecting the spring gonna see if i can get some money to get some black gaffa for mine

[gillybert]

Hi, I wrapped my springs in a long continuos strip of mountain bike inner tube I cut along it's length. Check out the stilt gallery.  It makes a good thick, flexible layer.  GB

I just used 'normal' electical tape works fine !?

[aidanh1]

dark i have eletrical tape how much did you use?

and should i put gaffer taspe on as a bottom layer than design it with some eletrical tape

[aidanh1]

Tight up may help just don't over do it !
Say that I have this problem. You may find the black plactic spacers a little bit wore !?
I just put a very thin bit of paper in the gap, worked for me !
But it maybe too badly wore or could even be cracked if that the case they'll have to replace it !

[aidanh1]

weres the spacer?

and its seems that the spring moves up and down and the leg bit woble left and right but all the bolts are tight?
