New Vector Magnetic Risers

[Squeak 17]

Is anyone here using the New Vector Magnetic Risers, are they working well or just gimicky?

Do you mean "magnetic riser covers"?

See the link provided in the prior message for a discussion of these, under a non-descript subject title.

That links to a discussion of the technology, but there isn't anything there about actual experience, which is what the OP's question was about.

We have over 1,000 jumps now on magnetic riser covers, as well as countless ground tests. They work better than anything else I have tried (and I've tried a lot of different designs). If they did not, I would not offer them. You don't get gimmicks out of my shop...whatever the name of it is at the moment.

Bill,

Will you offer them for Sigma tandems as well?

Do the magnets loose their strength over time???

[freeflywink 0]

No, they only get weaker from harsh strikes. The new tech rare earth magnets are much less prone to that but on the down side are more prone to chiping and or breaking.

Wink.
I know you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Yes. Sigma mains will have them. Tandem rigs really need them.
