am i going to die!?!?!?
« on: October 09, 2008, 06:59:43 PM »
i think my pro-jump springs may be slightly knackered...

the left one bottoms out every other decently powered jump and they both make a  ''im going to break if you do that again'' noise which sounds rather like a tree branch snapping.

so the main question is what should i do and am i going to die if i keep on em!!!?

You can continue to use them until they are completly dead if you want.
They won't just snap instantly in half, they will just get gradually softer and softer until just walking will bottom them out  :D

I am left foot heavy when I bock so I swap my springs over every 4 to 6 weeks it's easy if you know how you only undo 3 bolts on each stilt and it also swaps the hoofs over so they wear evenly to

Do it the easy way Jack

Undo the big bolt at the top of the hoof section them you can swing the whole spring away and get access to the two small bolts that hold the top of the spring to the top bracket
Then just swap the whole spring/hoof unit over only takes about 10 mins once you get used to it
