Epee Bodywire Repair Miss Match
It is a requirement of the rules that the epee bodywire (fencers end) is locked into place.
Whilst Leon Paul epee bodywires will work with both types of inside guard sockets, the longer profile of the German/Chinese type will only lock, at first glance, with the German/Chinese inside guard socket(see above) If this problem is left unchecked, your bodywire may become detached during a bout, resulting in stoppages and possibly lost hits.
However, there is no need to bin you old bodywire in order to accommodate your new sword. The low profile Leon Paul inside guard socket was designed to accommodate both types of bodywire. Slide the small rubber ball to the side of the shaft with your fingers.
Close the clip as normal and the plug will lock into place.
