New grips

Rating:

What was your concern with this review?

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.

    I messed up the thread for the clamping screw on the brake lever. Customer service helped me in a very friendly and reliable manner. After a few days I received a replacement screw, but unfortunately the thread in the hole of the lever was worn out.

    It's very stable/robust and we feel completely safe with it when we go walking on uneven (forest) trails.
