Hi Rick, sorry to say but never been 100% with my kit as shocks screwed to near max and we did change one when new but i have that problem with the wheels going well over when loaded and would not say that it loaded heavy so you have me thinking would I be better to go for what you have done or just stick with me old single kit on the front if you thing the mod is the way to go whats the cost to change the shocks to the 15cm ones please I have already changed over to the newer rear set up and that has made a big change to the stability of the barrow system so happy with that change ,thanks
Hi Steve the longer 15cm shocks are the same ones we fit as standard to the XL wheel. The single wheel performs better than the double provided you do not have to big a load. Once the load becomes to difficult to manage on just one wheel then the double wheel or four wheel has to be the choice unless the angler can lighten the load and amount of bags. If you send me a picture of your double wheel kit I can check what version you have because we did makes some amendments early on.
@@richardtyler296 Hi Rick thanks for the reply got the kit in April this year will drop some pics to your phone if that is OK and see what you think. cheers
@@richardtyler296 Hi Rick I did drop you some picks to your phone don't know if you got them OK my wheel kit was the 4 wheel kit with the 4 41cm wheels purchased in April this year but has the 10cm shocks that we had a problem with one if you can remember the would screw all the way by hand and not compress the spring so we did change one that made a big change to it, also one other thing can i get just the side step short legs as put mine in my ground bait tray Sunday while packing up and the wind took it for a trip in to 12 foot of fast flowing river 🤬 had no chance of getting the legs back, many thanks Regards Steve
Hi Steve we do have a solution that upgraded the double kit so it can take more weight by fitting 15cm shocks. see link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XcGYTaYJLPU.html
I love the ideas and the engineering but i do think it is getting a bit more like a designer fishing box and very expensive ..does it catch more fish long and short no
Hi Nick, actually when you consider it is a seatbox and barrow chassis in one it is actually very cheap considering most Octbox anglers are getting over ten years of use and still have a box that is good enough to sell on. Aluminium is not a cheap material but despite that in 2018 our D25 box cost £550 and today it costs £575. Wages have gone up considerably over those years so we have done very well to keep prices down while still improving the quality.
