Dub - It's just you.
Sorry, but you set yourself up for that one
Those look similar in material & thickness but it looks like the similarities end there. They are molded to allow the user to cut off sections to match the OD of the Outer Race (green cup). Could be a net benefit to us since I'm sure we would use the largest diameter and that would allow us to use the most effective length causing less stretching during flex.
Hope to be picking up the VX this afternoon & I'll try to get some pix posted of the new boots.
