Thank you Jason, I accept your offer.  Should I bring a couple of Jubilee clips?

Yes might be worthwhile I tried my local stores for some spares and everyone seems to be out of the larger sizes

They do take a bit of putting on as the rubber is thicker that the average tyre but I managed mine by myself so with two of us it should be easy

I went out on them again today and again no slipping the tread has almost worn off but this doesn't seem to change the grip even on grass

I managed to jump a 2ft 6" pole and clear it by 6" on grass today so the grip must be good  ;D

Hey Jason,

Just had a quick read through all the posts... Naz pointed me in this direction.

I will be happy to try them. I am not 100% sure if I am going to the London week next week, but if I do I am sure you will be able to find me or I can let you know on here.

They look like they would work really well!

Cheers,

Ian

Yes I do hope to be selling them soon
As to the price I think I will be able to stick to £5 + postage it depends on the man supplying the sheet rubber to me

I have managed to recrute tundraH and urbantricker to test them  (as you've probably  read above) so allow me a month for testing and another to get supply sorted and if all  goes well I'll ask Naz to let me start a thread for orders

Jason,

I have tried to rescehdule my holiday but I can't so I won't be able to make Sunday. However one of my friends Ash should be going if you wanted to pass on the rubber feet to him. He is a thin bald guy who can do a front flip haha.


Cheers,

Ian

I tested them on wet roads and grass today (must be feeling brave for a change )

What can I say they grip like a Robbie Williams groopie

I found a shiny metal grate while I wasn't paying attention and thought I was going over but the hoof slid the length of the grate and then just stopped as it found tarmac again

Only a little run on the grass but seems to manage as well as tyre socks
