Quoted from Astropin:

ST blasts the hell out of regular rubber posts in short order.

In my experience, ST also blasts the hell out of the Super Band minis. Several of them started cracking after about a thousand plays, and the replacements started cracking after about 500. I was under the impression that these are supposed to be durable in exchange for being $1.29 apiece. Are my expectations too high?

As an update, just about every 3/8" single mini-post Super-Band ring I ordered has cracked or split, each having lasted from three days to two weeks. I decided that I was better off ordering the 20-cent rubbers if I was going to go through them that fast.

Yeah, I should clarify that the machine these are installed on is a Star Trek Premium that gets about four to five hours of play a day, five days a week. Maybe that matters. Maybe not.
