Clips that hold the pins in place for the Center Roll Hoop are extremely loose. Have already lost one. So, until a better solution comes along…

Flip the pins and go over the plastic instead of over the metal.

With some pliers you would be surprised you can also bend them back (or out if it's the deadly tight ones).

Thank you! I was feeling all proud for figuring out a fix and now I feel like an idiot! :ROFLMAO: Thanks again.

I tried bending them tighter but no luck. Guess I wasn’t able to get enough force on it. They did seem real springy and would go back to the (almost) original shape. Stopped short of crushing one in a vice, figured there was a better way.

Same here! I don't like being wasteful but some say......

This front arm for example, flexes better than RPM. 😎

Best part, I have a set of new arms for it! 😄

I've done similar,but yours looks much better...is that hot glue or is it the baking soda an super glue thing???
 
Like the shoe goo,but it stinks...I've really been going through the Walmart cheap spray on FLEX-SEAL.ive been spraying that $hit on everything 😅🤣😂
Thanks for the tip, I will try it out!

Agree shoe goo stinks but the best stuff out there, sticks to anything and just flexible enough.
 
Broke my wheelie bar into 3 pieces in sub freezing temps today & don't have a spare @ the moment. I improvised w/ some galvanized sheet metal & some more screws. Not my best work but hopefully it holds for a few sessions or @ least til I can get another one

Wheel shattered? No problem, extreme Jerry Rigging!

CA Glue, Painters Tape, Shoe Goo and Lexan, and Yes I remembered to put a blob of glue on the opposite side of the wheel for balance 🤣!
