380 R.E.D.S

My R.E.D.S pads are coming apart. Are they warranted? Can I get replacement pads?

[kevinr]

SUPER COMPANY!! Dawn is sending me a new set at no charge.

What a company, and Dawn she is a real sweetheart, and a real professional.

Really surprised they are a warranty item. They must be taken a pounding from the string. The same thing will probably happen to the new set of pads they send unless the rubber they are made out of is of a better quality.

I turned mine every 3 shots and within 40 shots mine split, so getting them turned down so i can use the String tamer rubber bumpers..

The ones ony Equinox aren't split yet, but have some grooves starting.

What's this modification in order to use some other rubber bumpers?

The ball end needs to be turned down to 3/8" and not sure of the lenght yet..

[yooper_man]

Is this an Excalibur approved modification?

Who does the turning down work and who supplies these different rubbers?

anyone with a lathe can do it. bumpers that I use are string tamer bumpers. can get them on ebay.

Do you know of anyone that offers this lathe service?

I did see Norway String Tamer Rubber Stopper Replacement 2 pk on eBay, so are they much denser and last and last? They might be the ticket, much cheaper than Excalibur's S5/R.E.D.S. pads, plus if they outlast them win, win.

Rule of thumb, give the string 1/8'' gap from the bumper's, sure will last a lot longer.

my in law made me up a set of stops Like Tinkerers. I didn't have stock ones milled down.
its not the rubber so much as the shape of the stop itself.

Yes, I have had my Equinox string set 1/8" off the pads since day one. With starting out a new string I make the gap 1/2" until it settles to 1/8". I just think Excalibur's.pads could be made much denser, but they would of course sell less replacements.

set your string farther away. I have mine 1/2" min. its the round ball. it pinches the pad. with tinks style the pad shoulder takes most of the force. much more surface area to take the force.
