dajogejr Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 I think they charge between 7 and 12 bucks per blade to repair them. However, I've been told if they are triple buffs, you can't. I'm not 100% certain on that one...ask 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halfrack Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I just recently bought some haulers in similar condition. I went to home depot and purchased some rubber epoxy, cleaned the broken paddles, and applied the epoxy. The epoxy seems to hold extremely well, but I cant say how they hold up after a ride as I havent gotten a chance to test them. I can say that I can pull, and push the repaired paddles with all my weight and nothing happens. The epoxy I bought I beleive said it can hold up to 1500 psi. Im actually heading out to florence tonight I can report back on sunday as to the condition of the repairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halfrack Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Nope, epoxy might work for something else but does not work well on paddles. It did take a full day of riding before all the epoxy finaly came off. Might work if in a pinch, definatley not a permenate fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kawiking Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 i had the same problem last year !! i tried every epoxy and glue out there... nothing worked. figured after shipping from texas to and from it wouldnt be worth it. and no ,its hard to just buy 1 tire. i figured out most places wont sell 1 tire. i put mine on e-bay and wrote if you live in cali or on the coast you could repair for cheap,sold the set .. im sure i lost money but i got tied of trying to find 1 tire.

halfrack Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Did that epoxy work out for you? Not really, check post #7. Maybe some marine adhesive by 3m would work better, but I should really buy new paddles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 The only real way to semi-permanently adhere rubber is to vulcanize it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
