Setup
- Preparation: Before installation, ensure the stud receptacles on your boots are clean and free of dirt or debris. If replacing old studs, fully remove them.
- Insertion: Select the desired stud length (13mm or 15mm) based on pitch conditions.
- Tightening: Gently insert the stud into the boot's thread. Using a standard rugby stud wrench (sold separately), screw the stud in clockwise until it is finger-tight, then give it a final snug turn with the wrench. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the boot's threads.
- Distribution: Typically, longer studs (15mm) are used at the heel for stability, and a mix of 13mm and 15mm at the forefoot depending on personal preference and desired grip.
Compatibility
These studs are designed specifically for adult Canterbury Phoenix Genesis and Canterbury Speed Infinite soft ground rugby boots. They are not compatible with other boot brands or models.
Care
- Post-Match Cleaning: After every use, remove any mud or debris from the studs and the boot's threads. A stiff brush and water can be effective.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect studs for wear, damage, or looseness. Replace worn or damaged studs immediately to maintain performance and safety.
- Storage: Store your boots and studs in a dry place to prevent corrosion of the aluminium.
