broke a strap, right at the rivet where it attches to the clasp. anyone know of a quick temporary fix i can use for a couple days til payday? i have about an inch of extra strap after the clasp

re-rivet (iffy) or re-purchase (not as iffy)

you might be able to get a cheapie, used, nylon one from your lbs for free if you ask nicely.

zip ties, duct tape, super glue. If those won't fix it, nothing will!

I just had this happen to me last week. I poked a hole in the nylon strap about 1/2" from the broken end and threaded a 1" diameter key ring through it. Then I threaded the keyring through the metal clasp behind the rivet. It's held for ~150 miles since then, but I run a front brake, so your mileage may vary.

Sorry, dead batteries in the camera, so no pictures.

anarchocyclist dude you are the man! thanks!!

riderx yea man i know - not much that zipties and duct tape can't make work

JBWeld Eddie, or loctite!

(Just messin, couldn't resist)

wait, you were joking?

Glad to help, Eddie. By the way, make sure you use a lighter to scorch the frayed ends and the hole in the nylon strap to "seal" it.

punch a hole and run a couple small zip ties through the new hole, but i do love the keyring idea! you can be cool and ride only a right strap!

worked perfectly, though i'm taking it easy on skip/skidding until tomorrow. hey what's a good strapset to replace it with? i only just really got the hang of skidding etc on-demand and i guess this tells me i need burlier straps than the cheapy nylon guys i bought with the pedals

which solution did you choose? you gotta run two sets of straps. it's your brakes. please be safe! 2 sets of 2$ nylon, or 2 sets of 12$ leather laminated. both work great.

oh, i chose the keyring, just cause i had one at home and didn't have zipties. (and would you believe i am so broke until tomorrow that i don't even have the $$ for a couple of em?) thanks for looking out

edit: hmm, apparently my gr-9s aren't double strap compatible

ps i badly want that rossin frame of yours mikorp. like badly!
