Umm it looks like she has the kids one on and if she's running fast & depending on how long she has had them yeah she could be but like explained in the FAQ its not always a bad thing.

It's not a very clear picture but I used my photoshop and they look like childrens sized ones too me  ???

So I think she should go up a size at least !?

I bottom out if I run but then again I'm at the upper limits for the spring so their bound too bottom out !

The thing is you can't really tell whether its good thing or a bad thing from the picture its all about how the individual uses them, if they need to upgrade them, how long they have been using them etc!

You'll find loads of bottoming out pictures if you search google but everyone has its own story so to speak  ;)

(By the way  :tape: :Blue_Tape: :White_Tape:  <--- these are tape symbols for when you wrap your springs - just noticed your other post asking what they were ;) thanks to carma!)

Its just to protect them Steve.
You'll find that simply by leaning them up against walls will scuff them, whilst a tumble can soon do some damage. Also, when running, you can easily nick the springs with the other foot.
Know what you mean, like to keep my toys in good cond too, but neatly wrapping in hockey tape or tennis tape, will mean they look better for longer :)

there are lots of posts on taping the springs... check them out. Also if you damage the rubber on the springs you are more likely to damage the springs also meaning they wont last so long so its a job worth doing.
