but who has more fun?

I had a guy in a gym for 1st time on sunday ( had stilts a few rainy weeks) within 2 hours Id got him flippin 310 degrees, thats to say another 10-15 degrees he might have staggeringly madeaflip. Ive also stood next to swebounce when he did 7 flips in a row on a 7's s rex prototype.

U tell me who had the biggest smile

Squeaky squeaky is driving my son and I potty wotty. Instead of saying graphite or copper based grease, can anyone give an actual product name/model so I can just go into a car accessory shop and slap some green on the counter please?

[darfgarf]

any dry lube should work, personally i'm using silicon dry-lube, just ask the hardware shops person for lube...unless they look gay, then ask someone else

Im aiming to win another pair of stilts in , ooo about 12 months. Cuts down on the maintenance wonderfuly hehe

[darfgarf]

lol in the long run it's probably cheaper to lube the joints than get new stilts, but if they're free then go for it...and how?

[Cantallian]

What should I lube specifically, the interior of the cylinder that rolls against the spring where the hoof bracket joins, or would the exterieur where the spring touches the cylinder suffice?

I have to admit, it's my son's F40s that make the most noise. One started after 5 minutes of use. Then the following day both were doing it and it's effing annoying, not to mention embarrssing for him when in public.

[darfgarf]

umm, i lubed the outside and inside of everything, bushings, tubes, but not between the spring and the joint, don't think that'd be a very good idea, though i also forgot to put any extra protection when i put my springs back on last, and the tape wore through to bare spring on that joint, basically anything that moves should be lubed

...though mine still squeek a bit, probably no way to avoid the odd one, but if they sound like an old swing then yeah lube them...but clean any gunk off first obviously

[XarnuSonci]

on FL stilts the important thing to lube is the brash bushings, that's where the contact is between moving frame parts.

[darfgarf]

brash or brass?

...as mine aren't brass i don't think, but i can't decipher what brash means?

[Cantallian]

I think XarnuSonci may be trying to give me the "brash-off"

[darfgarf]

*claw-slaps for the bad pun*

edit: oh and yeah lubing th ebushings would be a good idea, else they'll wear down and your joints will start to wobble around

[Cantallian]

Ok guys, thanks for the tips. I will give that a try.

[darfgarf]

well if that doesn't reduce the squeekyness of them, then i have no idea what will
