Hi,

Just wanting to let people know.... & vent!:nono: Recently bought a pair of 'fibre' oxbow stirrups off Ebay. Well first ride with a bit of rising trot, they just gave way!:eek: One snapped under my foot. The other I've discovered since has stress cracks too! So despite being advertised as 'very strong', they be weak as cr*p! Just lucky I wasn't out for a long ride & don't generally rely on stirrups for support.
