The new size genetics 16 way comfort system comes with two small pieces of silicone band aid material. I have found this very comfortable because it is squishy but grips the skin very well. Of course it only last so long before it needs replaced so naturally I went to sg website and they are pretty expensive. Discouraged I started using different stuff because I would not give the high price for two little pieces.

Fast forward to today at the local walmart. Im looking for mole skin to mod the base. Im in the foot section and I can't find any mole skin. Again im starting to get discouraged until I see it! Gel corn protectors. The exact thing that was sent with the sg that I loved so much! It had 2 pieces twice as long as the ones with the sg and its only $2 and some change! Then a friend came up and while talking to him I found the mole skin ;)

If anyone has had problems with either hanging or comfort with the sg I would suggest getting some of these. I had no idea what they were for a long time but for me they provide the best wrap method and the easiest.
 
wait so you're using the corn protectors for the base or for wrapping?
What does a corn protector look like?
 
Im using the corn protector for the complete wrap. With my home made hanger I have to use alot of ace wrap because it will not clamp down far enough....with the sg I use the foam piece to fill the gap. It basically takes the place of theraband and a layer of ace. It looks like a cylinder of ace from the outside and is about 1 inch long. Look on sg replacement parts and they have em.

The actual piece that sg sells is easier to put on. I think it has a slightly larger diameter than the cheaper corn protectors but still they are pretty easy to put on. They get an amazing hold. Did 8 lbs for 20 min and max in the sg with no slippage....and extremely comfortable.
 
I went to the link and saw that they changed the width of the gel protector to 1"
It used to be .50 when I ordered mine about 3 months ago. You can see in photo
3 at the link here the size difference between the two protectors.

If there is a facsimile at walmart then I will go and look for the gel..corn protectors to see if I can
use them with my new wrapping technique. Check it out.
 
ok, so all this rant wasn't about the Base at all or was it?

This is just a new wrap?
 
Hay
