First Mod: Covering the springs

[Zlosk]

On November 11, I made my first mods to my PoweriZers.



I still need to tape up various nuts and bolts. I also need to get new ny-lock nuts to replace the ones I removed when putting the inner tube over the spring.

nice tape design, very neat

[Trip Master]

Nice neat job, I wish i had the patience. I just wrapped my fly jumper springs in black duck tape.

[riser-rookie]

Very nice, the little details like adding the horizontal strips at either end make it look very professional

[Smurf]

yeah, nice work

Dude, that is solid. I'm thinking about doing the same. Did you do one continuous piece of yellow tape of break it and continue occassionally?

i used one continuous length on mine..... and on MrDimmu's
I did the base colour for about three layers and then the contrasting stripe





Incidentally, Zlosk, are you left-handed???

[Zlosk]

sctrojnvirus - It was two continuous pieces of 3/4" (19 mm) wide yellow tape. I was aiming to have the stripes at a 45 degree angle, so I eyeballed the angle with one stripe. Then I laid a second stripe between the first spiral. I just lucked out that it seems to be rather even.

Smurf - I am right handed. I wanted the stripes to look like "CAUTION" stripes. As far as I've seen, they are angled in the direction of a forward slash, as opposed to a backslash.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. Too bad the springs are already in need of re-taping.   I walked a mile in them today, and I evidently like to kick my right leg/stilt into the left spring.

You will always have to retape it if you don't protect it somehow. But It looks like you put some work into it:)

[Smurf]

Yeah it's a good idea to take tape with you when you go out on your bocks - that way you can do any repairs that need to be done without going home
