I&#8217;ve grown tired of purchasing replacement kits to source the plastic feet, as the kits are relatively expensive and I don&#8217;t need all the extra parts they provide. I&#8217;ve across a couple great ideas from others:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/andy-projects.blogspot.com\/2013\/08\/xtracycle-kickback-kickstand-fixes.html\">http:\/\/andy-projects.blogspot.com\/2013\/08\/xtracycle-kickback-kickstand-fixes.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>and<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jnyyz.wordpress.com\/2012\/03\/27\/extra-feet-for-the-xtracycle\/\">https:\/\/jnyyz.wordpress.com\/2012\/03\/27\/extra-feet-for-the-xtracycle\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So, I followed their advice, in particular the advice in the second link &#8211; going with vinyl caps instead of rubber ones. Based on this information,\u00a0I purchased a couple types\u00a0of caps\/feet at Menards:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.menards.com\/main\/home-decor\/furniture\/casters-furniture-hardware\/grips-pads-tips\/shepherd-7-8-black-hi-vinyl-leg-tips\/p-2718333.htm\">https:\/\/www.menards.com\/main\/home-decor\/furniture\/casters-furniture-hardware\/grips-pads-tips\/shepherd-7-8-black-hi-vinyl-leg-tips\/p-2718333.htm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>and<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.menards.com\/main\/furnitureutilityhardware\/78inch-vinyl-hi-tips-black\/p-1469292.htm?plckReviews=true\">http:\/\/www.menards.com\/main\/furnitureutilityhardware\/78inch-vinyl-hi-tips-black\/p-1469292.htm?plckReviews=true<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I\u00a0placed the caps, from the first link, on the KickBack &#8211; they fit like a champ and so far seem to be working just fine.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.schwie.com\/brad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_1620.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-293\" src=\"https:\/\/www.schwie.com\/brad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/IMG_1620-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1620\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Multiple sets of replacement feet for 1\/10 the OEM cost is a bargain. Thanks, Andy and Prof. from Toronto. Now I need to figure out a cheap and better way to replace the KickBack&#8217;s spring.<\/p>\n<p>**********************************************<\/p>\n<p>5\/6\/2017 UPDATE:<\/p>\n<p>Was doing some post-winter maintenance on my Big Dummy and noticed the 7\/8-inch chair tips were both punctured and I believe I had just put fresh ones on a year ago.\u00a0All&#8217;s good.\u00a0I removed the punctured ones with a utility knife\u00a0and tossed a couple new ones on. Menards still carries them, so it looks like I can pick up another 4-pack of the 7\/8-inch size.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve gone through several plastic feet on the KickBack, mounted to my Big Dummy.
