I should know better than to take the laptop to bed and post when I can't sleep. ;) Way back when I was a dealer for an endurance tack company what I was told is that you needed the plastic pipe (the ones I have left are 1/2" inside diameter) to protect the stirrup leathers. The plastic pipe I have is identical to what came on the 'old' EZ Rides, that way I could change the sizes for people if they wanted me to. Something about the leathers being stressed too much if they rest on just the bolt, that it has to be covered. I doubt if you or I would have a problem with it since we're both small, but it's always been my opinion that EZ Rides were designed for a giant. Steph -- "Brutality begins where skill ends."
