    Hinders Elips

    I've noticed much the same, and it is also apparent in the "medium 6mm" size too. I say this as I had a small surplus of both left over from a previous order and noticed the difference whilst I was transferring them to air-tight storage containers in the garage.

    Rod porn

    Regarding the Sportex 11' blanks, I had a pair of them built by Kevin Baines, that were unfortunately lost in a burglary.
