Changing hooves

[XarnuSonci]

yeah the flying locust ones the rubber is removable, all the other brands aren't.

I mean you can get the bracket that is bolted to the spring, if you get the 7's bracket, it should fit the 7's hoof.

i dont know how to do this, i just wanted to get my third star by making my 100th post lmao

Oh, I forgot that the brand of mine was FlyingLocust. XD
I just know them as PoweriZers...^^;

Hmm...would anyone know where you can get the rubber sole from?
The site I bought them from doesn't have them. D:

But if I can't, I may just see about some 7's brackets...

Aah Sprog, thanks.
You always seem to come to the rescue, don't you.

...i warn you pro-jumps hooves aren't very good, and so is the problem with the 7's hooves the bracket that attaches the spring to the hoof, if so could i have pictures, as i'll be getting some soon aswell

[English Poweriser]

Yeah sure. I'll do it soon.
Can't today, can't find phone/camera to computer cable.
Have to do it on parents comp.

Okie:

My worn-out bock hoof:

The black part (not the spring cover) is the bracket thing.
Underneath said bracket, the metal curves into a narrower area, allowing the bracket to fit over the metal.
The red was me trying to show what it looked like underneath the bracket.

New bock hoof:

This one doesn't curve/narrow out, meaning the bracket is too small for the metal frame.

But yeah, I'm returning the new bock hoofs (as the people from the company said I could) and ordering some just of the black plastic hoof that can be interchanged. ^^

[XarnuSonci]

um  the replacement PJ feet aren't gonna last any longer than the originals did, i thought you were upgrading them to 7's so they'll last longer?

you should just be able to replace the black bracket with either one from 7's or one from older gen PJ's(before they put the bend) and the new ones will work and you'll have longer lasting hooves. 

If you get the replacement interchangeable ones, you'll still need socks as they wear out.

[darfgarf]

ah, i won't have that problem then, as mine are v4 PJ's and don't have the bend...i think, though i'll have to remove tiresocks to find out, just hit order anyway so we'll see, though i hit invoice before delivery, does that mean i get sent an invoice then have to return it with the monies for the hooves, and any ideas on shipping times for 7leagues stuff?

edit:ah i might not be ok actually, if thats the case i'll just ask for extra brackets...or just bend mine out a tad, should work shouldn't it?

...or just put the bracket inside the edges of the hoof, instead of over the outside maybe?

[ElectricStapler]

If you have Zer feet, you can make a car tire foot and bolt that to the bottom instead of buying a new rubber piece.

[XarnuSonci]

bend mine out a tad, should work shouldn't it?

...or just put the bracket inside the edges of the hoof, instead of over the outside maybe?

don't do either of those, bending that already weak piece of metal will cause it to fail.

[darfgarf]

hmm yeah i spose that would break it slightly, ah well i'll sort something out, once i sort out paying for the dam things, silly me should've clicked the paypal button xD

[XarnuSonci]

well either before 7's send your stuff, give them a call and ask for the lower spring brackets to be added, or talk to PJ and see if they can hook you up with some, i know they've got old gen stuff sitting around they're spares pile

[darfgarf]

yeah will do, though i've probably got something similar lying around the shed or in local hardware stores, but i spose it's probably best to get the official part.

so, no bending at all, not even a tiny bit, pwetty pwease? xD
