has sent me two $5 rewards for the two sales that he made from his two sales
(out of forty in the box).

So apparently at least a few of you want to protect your Moyes base tube.

I was contemplated making a 2 part unit that bolted together but
vg rope routing and really the way it looked would not be good when we saw the
model. It looked pretty lame in fact. These are specific purpose. Don't land on
them they are not landing skids. These are profiled and look awesome. Set the
base bar on one end and slide the skid on it. You'll have to press pretty good
with 2 hands to push it on. I set mine all the way to the end where the end
fitting an carbon meet.

Were they available for the Moyes carbon speed bar? Nope, so that would make it
something new wouldn't it?

I did do large contour smooth radiused edges and they offered less surface area
to stand off rocks. These are 1/2 inch from bottom of base tube to bottom of
skid. They need as much surface area as possible and a profile like that did not
work worth a hell. Sorry you're not a fan, but nobody made anything for a carbon
speed bar for Moyes, so I made my own. Hell, I'm getting emails for Icaro speed
bars as well. A carbon speed bar is expensive and I'm surprised how many don't
really care and just slap that crap right down on top of gravel, rocks etc.
Steve Pearson offers skids for all his Wills Wing bars which is awesome. I
surprised no other manufacturers do.

I also did not want something that would snap on. Way easy to make as well. I
wanted something that would stay on the bar no matter what.
