Reflections south west

How long have they been on?? They look wrecked.

Have you ever greased and cleaned them? Mine have been on over a month and look brand new still, but at the end of every week I clean and wd40 them. Not sure if that will make a difference in the long run.

They are 2 years old , I do clean them and lubricate them with wd40 or silicon spray but you only have to reel the hose in once to have them covered in grit . The chunks Brocken off is due to the clips on the joiners between the microbore and the pole hose I found after the first couple of days that they chipped it works well but the rollers arnt really up to the job they arnt good quality , I keep looking for something similar size but better made haven't found anything yet , I find them noisy too due to the very poor tolerance between the roller and the shaft there's a lot of p,any in them

Had rollers in the floor since 2014 on my transit custom.

I had the blue rollers and they looked the same after 12months as the pic above.

In the end I just asked Grippatank to make a setup to my specifications from scratch.

It's not perfect YET. I just need a couple of mods and then it's epic.

MASSIVE improvement and had it designed so I can swap out and replace rollers so quickly.

Had it on the van for nearly 6 months and still fab.

Ok thanks Ime intrested to see what it's like , does the hose pull through yours easier than the blue rollers ?

Miles better than the blue ones, miles and miles. Guess what miles better lol.

My blue ones lasted nearly 2 years until i pulled one day and the hose just jammed up and nearly pulled me over! So decided on making something from scratch.

I just need to do a couple of fine adjustments and then they are perfect. It only effects one powered reel, the other powered reel is fine. £1500 reel vs £400 reel

buy a new van where you can lock the front up and keep the back doors open simple really

Not really.

A 47foot extreme could be taken out in seconds and that's best part of £1000 gone.

These are about 3 months old now, constant hammering 5/6 days a week with a powerup reel.

I've just cleaned and oiled them up and they are like new.

Only thing I can think is that I'm not passing any metal through, it's just the hose with a protects ball on the end so is this why mine are staying in such good condition?

Metal has got nothing to do with it

If you pull the hose to the sides you will
Notice the black plastic rubs on the blue metal. Give it time and it will look a complete mess

What kind of hose is the blue hose?

[p1w1]

Those blue rollers aren't fit to pull a strand of cotton through them never mind hosepipe.
