Amici, I thought of picking one of these up but that was before I started encountering an issue with my 78, which is the rubber is physically flaking off the inserts. This has always been the main issue why I have always steered clear of anything labeled, kraton, dual intensity, or any other code word for a material best suited for tires. Cheers,Serge
Mine was $42 w/free two-day shipping through Amazon. That Prime membership has certainly paid for iteself.
I have to say, that Ranger 78 looks like a Vic OHT on steroids. I may have to do a little reading about it....
I've heard mixed results on the grippy inserts, I think there was someone on here that had problems with it flaking (but on another model), but they got sent a replacement that didn't have that problem

I just got an EvoGrip S16 a couple weeks ago, and now I read about the rubber not holding up on the RangerGrip models. I presume it is the same rubber, so I probably should've gotten an Evo instead of an EvoGrip. Oh well. We'll see what happens. I presume Wenger would make it right if it flaked off; it's just a matter of sending it into them. They're probably aware of it already and have probably started using better rubber now. (I hope!)
