Hey all. I don’t have time to update the still-unofficial Yoopers fix FAQ before Nationals but I have a working solution for indoors. See this thread.
- Apply the fix as described.
- Wait a day.
- Replace the s-s bolts one-at-a-time with nylon bolts and lock nuts from the hardware store. Replace the large washers with smaller ones.
The resulting fix appears, after 2 weeks of use, to be just as strong but floor-friendly. It is necessary to do the s-s bolts first in order to provide sufficient pull on the handle.
I use my freestyle outside so the heads get chewed up fast, but I doubt that would be true indoors.
A couple of photos are here.
