Title: best rubbers and where to buy
Post by: robbie14000 on January 21, 2007, 01:13:38 am: Hi All, I currently use Unger rubbers and find them ok.
I have always used them (don,t know why).
What do you all find the best bearing in mind quality and cost.
Where to bulk buy
Thanks in advance

My own view is that there is not much to choose between them although everybody has a preference. Why not try a few different brands and see what you settle on.

All of the various suppliers carry a range and I dont think there is much difference in price between any of them. There are so many excellent suppliers these days I hesitate to recommend one over the others but try Wintecs www.wintecs.co.uk as a starting point. I only say go to them because they do free delivery which is good on small orders.
