stitch 0 #1 January 8, 2007 What are some techniques used to move silicone slider bumpers, to change risers/links, etc.?? Other than cutting them off and replacing them every time."No cookies for you"- GFD "I don't think I like the sound of that" ~ MB65 Don't be a "Racer Hater" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #2 January 8, 2007 A pullup chord run through the rapid link then through the bumper. Pull the ends apart and it'll slid the bumper off the link. Its also a good trick for putting them back on.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gene03 0 #4 January 8, 2007 That works and doesn't split the silicone bumpers?“The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him. Stanislaw Jerzy Lec quotes (Polish writer, poet and satirist 1906-1966) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #5 January 8, 2007 It works and the only time that I've broken or split a bumper is when it was really old, discolored and brittle. Basically it should have been replaced anyways.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 558 #6 January 9, 2007 Yes, the pull-up cord helps a lot. The other major consideration is grip strength. Quick! What is the difference between good grip strength and great grip strength? Blue versus purple! (sick laughter!!!!!!!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
