>>>> You should use the grey high pressure outdoor PVC pipe, the other stuff isn't strong enough and could shatter or break.
I don't think I see your point here...? The plastic piping is well under $1 per foot (maybe under $.50 - can't remember) and it only took an inch per stirrup. (Two inches if you use the wider, western-neck stirrups - but I don't think the Sensations can use western stirrups.) It's simply a cover over the bolt - it's not even needed. If it breaks I'll splurge another $.04 and replace it. The bolt was, and still is, what carries the burden structurally. I've been using one for over a year, and it's still fine. And, btw, I don't think you can find any PVC pipe that is small enough on the OD, yet big enough on the ID to go over the bolt. And if you did, it wouldn't have any "springiness" of the softer tubing. That's the only reason I tried the tubing - the bolt alone should have been fine. >>>> Canadian Trail House sells replacement tops for the EZ Rides. She sold them so you could have one set of EZ Rides and use them for different sized leathers. And none of the tops work with Webbers, unless you take the rubber cover off and just use the bolt - which was the reason I posted this, so people can use Webbers if they prefer. Regular stirrups work just fine though, without any modifications. Karen Thomas, NC -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
