I've always wanted to plug the open toe holds on the Phazer. I went to home Depot and for under $4 I bought a set of 4 - 29 mm inside diameter/40 mm outside diameter rubber leg tips. A little silicone and they fit perfectly.

Thats a good idea. Does it serve or purpose or is it purely aesthetic?

Mostly aesthetic. It makes it a little more "finished".
It will also save your cover if you use one.Those edges are sharp.Cut holes in my brand new cover first time I used it.Great fix!

Another good reason to put them on.

Don't forget your shins! I still have scars from those buggers.

How did you cut your shins on the side of those tow holds?
especially through your boots and pants.

Anybody ever remove them? They seem to be in the way sometimes.Cubby said:I've always wanted to plug the open toe holds on the Phazer. I went to home Depot and for under $4 I bought a set of 4 - 29 mm inside diameter/40 mm outside diameter rubber leg tips. A little silicone and they fit perfectly.

i hate them, but when your in a tricky situation i wiggle my foot under there and throw myself over to pull the sled back on track. their there for a reason i suppose. i too have smashed my shins on them, and the spindles while walking around the sled in the garage.

I was gonna. The guy that owned the local dealer removed his because he almost broke his leg when his boot got stuck. If you are riding the phazer hard, you need to be able to jump from side to side and use all your weight to flick it around. (This is speaking from a 170lb standpoint - 220 lbers might be able to use their weight more efficiently). Seriously considered removing them but the way they are mounted made for a PITA to remove.BombaPolaYama said:Anybody ever remove them?

I can't imagine try to boondock without the told holds. Thats the only way I stay attached when I am jumping from side to side and leaning way over the side of the sled.
