Re-use old backers ?

[snow_monkey]

Just throwin this out there. When you replace your old studs do you re-use the old backers? I would think they would be fine unless bent or damaged.

I have resused both old studs and backers as long as they are not damaged or bent.

on my speed track the backers have seen 4 sets of ice picks

I use old backers all the time if not bend or damaged. Studs, it depends on the condition. I like sharp studs if I'm going through the trouble to replace, I prefer new.
