New grips

Rating:

The new grips fit & work perfectly. I found they were easy to install but I do have some mechanical skills.

I have owned my 12er for about six years and have completed 5 Marathons (26.2 mi) with it. I estimate I have walked nearly 3,500 miles with it and it is beginning to show some wear, thus the need for new grips.

I have a set of 14” wheels that I snap on when actually doing the marathon. Most of the rest of time I use the 12” wheels because they are somewhat easier to hoist in and out of the car. However, the 12” tires are quite worn so replacement time draws near.

The walker has made it possible for me to travel all over the world including such diverse places as the cobblestone streets of Europe, the islands of the Galápagos and the trails of Africa. It has definitely been a life changer!
I am having trouble getting the brakes properly adjusted after replacing a brake cable.

    Hi,
    I just got back from a walk here in Sundsvall close to the new E4 bridge by the bay.
    The bridge won't be finished until 2014, so here there are temporary dirt roads mixed with paved segments.
