ive spikes on my ladders that are 20 year old 

well thats crazy and i wouldnt dream of it. it was only in the last year of us doing trad that i started using titans and they are god damn good ladders that may last a couple of years (not 20).

Yeah right lol.

what have i got to achive if i lie like i say my main priority is safety and even if it did cost me a lot more then it would be worth every penny, i dont know how much filters would cost in a hard water area but i have a pps of 057 and have gone through 1 set of filters in 1 year.

Fair enough Kris i`m not calling you a liar maybe i like my toys to much i`m buying different things all the time i love it lol,if a pole needs changing i change it i don`t let brushes get ruined before i change them i have quiet a few and alternate between them so there hardly worn.I`m not saying you can`t get away with spending little i just like my things to be tip top.

i agree with that and have tried buying this that and the other but always resort back to the same pole and brush, thats a 17ft xtel and wait for it...... an OVAL vikan, just like the way this brush splays on the window..

Kris the spikes are 20 not the ladders 

[kris martin]

so your ladders must be 40 years old then.

[martinsadie]

so your ladders must be 40 years old then.

no  ladders only last a year then take spikes off old ladder and put on new ladder 

[kris martin]

are you having my head over  , i had a spike snap on me after a few months and besides that they get blunt.

[martinsadie]

no im not i dont use the crap ones from Browns,mine were made by a mechanic,they are the width of the ladder ,fasten them on the back of the ladder,eight of an inch wide,and i only have 1 inch below ladder,have bevel on but never sharpen them ihave 2 sets 20 year old and 1 set 4 year old 

[kris martin]

Trad start up approx 300 quid plus whatever vehicle u can afford

Do you know if someone ask me how much I would have said about £300 as well, but you got me thinking, because I now own more more £300 of ladders alone and wondered what I would spend if my van and all the gear was stollen. If I had to replace all the equipement what would it cost, so I added up a basket on WCW and got a wopping £732.57 of trad gear. plus a 2k van.
