So which is better? Or is Scarpa's rubber better now Davie McLeod uses them?

In reply to Glyn Jones:

But Chris Sharma is climbing in Trax rubber so that must be the best surely. No hang on a minute, Dave Graham climbs in Five-ten, so Onyx must be the best. No, wait a sec.......

In reply to IainWhitehouse: There in lies the dilemma

In reply to Glyn Jones:
The trax on my evolvs isn't as sticky as onyx, and did seemto wear out quite quickly

In reply to Glyn Jones: Is there such a thing as a 5.10 condom?

In reply to Al Evans: There is, but you'd never pull out!

In reply to Glyn Jones: just to clear things up the rubber used to make boots is all the same stuff.
the only difference is that the guys who make it use a slightly differente compound depending on what a boot company wants but there is only 1 place they all get the rubber from so all the boot manufacturers that claim they have the stickiest climbing rubber in the world is all shit.

In reply to bezzer555:

So the slightly different compound couldn't conceivably have any effect on the stickiness of the rubber then?

In reply to bezzer555:

Sorry, but that's a load of rubbish.

In reply to bezzer555:

paper trail please as proof ? intresting concept suppose


bit like all cornflakes are the same.... except for the colour and size of salt grain used by tesco and the coop...

In reply to Ian McNeill:

Well the proof is in the fact the onyx sticks considerably better than the rubber I have on another pair of shoes...
