fast_eddie Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Having untill recently stored my wing in my gargage I found to my horror that mice had chewed a small hole in my stuffsack (Which I can live with) but of more concern had started to chew through the riser on one side. Although only a few strands this is where the risers connect to the hang point on the paramotor. Where can I get this fixed ?. I guess the optimum fix is to get a complete new riser set (one only) . Off to buy a cat Eddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Read THIS link as you may be able to get a set of mk2 risers at a discount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_b Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Buy a new set and keep one as a spare or to sell to the next person with a mouse problem. Remember the risers are sort of important when you are flying!!!!!!!!!! Pete b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I would just go for a new set myself... That is a reminder to all that the mice are coming in for the winter now, they just love nice warm paragliding wings in a cold garage. There is no real way to stop them, I tend to hang my kit off the floor making a a less attractive nest. Little blighters! SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
togsie Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Bad luck Eddie, I had a stack of fishing tackle trashed by mice in my garage recently. If you ever get around to laying traps for the little blighters the best bait is peanut butter or chocolate. Regards. Togsie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coggie49 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 We used to have a mouse problem in our garage, but my wife bought a sonic vermin repelent device from B&Q only cost about £6, it plugs into a 13amp socket, but you can get battery operated ones as well, it stopped the problem pretty quick, cheaper than a wing repair.
