Aerodon Posted March 16, 2024 Report Posted March 16, 2024 OK, this is a little goofy. I have some NOS (new old stock) pucks from 2014 and some good used pucks from 2015. My main gear pucks look pretty good, my nose gear needs replacing, so I only need 3. Bear in mind the shelf life of rubber components depend on a lot of variables. And the service life, even more. The pucks on the nose gear carry about 250 lbs each when parked, the main gear about 220. I'm sure the main gear gets exercised more on landing. Given the price on new ones, someone might be interested in some NOS or good used ones? Aerodon
