Any of you guys using/ used soma double straps?
Threw on a pair last week and I've found them to stretch a bit too much compared to my usual toshis. Anybody encounter this problem when they were using them?

Your cog is slipping.
Any non-laminated leather straps will stretch quite a bit more than laminated straps. Soma's straps are the same thing as EighthInch, All-city, Origin 8 and the unbranded leather doubles sold on my site.

Besides the leather being a lot nicer, the straps aren't connected as close together as they usually are, meaning they're easier to use on pedals like the GR-9 that weren't made for double straps (similar to Cadence's double-straps). They're also not as insanely long as the All-City's, I have about 4 inches left over and I have size 12 feet. I had to chop the All City's because they were huge.
Anywhoo, they're worth checking out.

The deluxe lamented doubles on my site are the exact same straps as the Cadence ones but they're unbranded.

Are the ones in your shop the same as the ones Wabi sells?
