Title: Bad week for breakages
Post by: Positivity on June 20, 2013, 10:36:55 am

Clamp lever, Gooseneck, Tap, and Resi-neck all gone within the last 2 days!!!!
Apart from the tap I've had well over a year out of the rest so it's done pretty well.
Takes some hammer this WFP kit.
Trad was so much simpler.

Always something needs fixing and maintaining.
Time to get out the ladder and scrim!!!!!

They're only cheap bits.

You just need to gradually build up spares of everything you can afford. Ideally all connectors, goosenecks, pump, controller etc.

I'd have a day off. Forget the ladders.

to be honest mate you should have a good stock of spares.some guys on here have given me stick for having 3 poles,2 aqua-daptors,4 carbon goosenecks,a resi neck etc and 5 or 6 brushes.

BUT!!i never have downtime as i can quickly swop a gooseneck and brush or pole if required due to breakages. ;D ;D ;D ;D

best wishes
