Powerskip Sole Repair kits

[webmaster]

The powerskip soles will eventually wearout however you can get full repair kits directly from UK Good Deals (These will be on the website as soon as I get a chance to pop them on!  )

The manufaturer has done a great tutorial, on how to replace your sole which can be found on http://www.powerskip.de/repairkitsole.html

I have found that Once you get The Yellow part to where out .. Just pel that off and Replace That..

if you have no Glue or Sanding Equipment the Shop 'Timpsons' or any shoe repair shop will hapily replace the Soles for you.. to get Both of my Yellow parts reglued and shaped only cost me £5 at my local Timpsons

Thats one way to do it, I wonder if they will do pro jumps along with skips, lol

I could ask today. I am in the city...again lol. Lucky I have a season pass.

Projump ones you can do yourself.. the use of the shop is Purely to get them to Glue them on and then shape them for you...

What sort of rubber do you need for soles? Mine are actually fine.. just an option I was going to explore

[tundraH]

On Projumps, depending on which version you have, you can either replace the whole foot bracket or bolt on new rubber pads.  This is just for the Powerskip, they have a different type of hoof.

Buts its not cheap

[tundraH]

It is cheap, it's alot cheaper to buy a Projump hoof bracket than it is for a Powerskip one.

The cheapest option is to make tyre socks with bicycle tyres.  Or the next cheapest would be Jason's "Hoofies", they last forever.  I used to get a full week of bocking (about 14 hours) on a pair of tyre socks.  Jason's hoofies, have lasted about 30 hours already and still show hardly any wear.

I hope this helps.

I have tire socks..It was really an idea for people who leave them a little late.. halfords let you have old tires and can chosose if u get a nice guy!

Must be buying rubbish tyres as I am getting about 5 hours worth out of a set. Any help on type would be good

[Spud]

5 hours isnt long! They are a pain to make! Have you been using the same tires everytime or trying different ones?

[tundraH]

I was using road tyres, as in not k**bly.  The were steel lined which ment they were harder to cut but were stronger and lasted longer.

So what is the best glue to use with the skips or what does the company recommend? Do you guys know what  material would be similar to the original soles too?
