Just started using these and really like them ..


Anyone know if they make a bigger version to go round an axle ?

Many thanks

Never used them but I don't think it'd be too tricky to make your own pair at a custom size - seatbelt is well cheap from a scrappy, or webbing from a climbing shop/ebay if you prefer; then use a sailors awl and bricklayers line to stitch them together however you like - probably cost a tenner or so plus a couple of hours if you're a complete needlemong

Or get the webbing, mark it up with pen or whatever how you want it and take it to some sewing shop, although I'm not sure how strong their stitching would be

I got a pair to try, they felt a bot weird the first couple of times I tried them but I quite like them. I don't think I've seen longer ones. I was wondering if a set of strengthshop axle straps would be long enough to make figure 8 with, it would be easy enough to do if they are.

I had a trial with mine on an axle and they fit nicely. Mine are made by Boom from Amazon.

They worked but could do with an extra inch or so of fabric in the middle bit.
