New Spikes and Flipline!

[Pete Mctree]

 

As for spikes , velcro doesn't last long , it doesn't stay sticky for long either. Leather straps for the win. Not flashy but last for ages.

 

Rubbish. Velcro lasts if you look after it.

I'll get my coat.

 

I worked with a chap for a while and he spent most of the days re-tightening and doing up his velcro wraps. Put me off.

 

But sounds like the key is keeping them clean/storing them closed.

I have the velcro for two years and don't look at them and never ever cleaned them, still works like brand new ..... ?

 

So I really don't see what the problem is.

Correct...look after them.. Aluminium Geckos with Velcro are what i have and are a pleasure to use:cool:

I have only ever had velcro pads never had a issue with them as said above i store them closed while not in use. I would get the ones with velcro top and leather bottom strap as the velcro bottom strap is useless i wish i could change my bottom strap to leather!

Ok cheers again guys! Looks like i'll be getting the geckos with the velcro top bit but leather strap around your boot seems like a good choice to me.

Just need to sort out a flipline now! I'm thinking go with the yale one but its is a tenner more than the new england one anyone know why??

For a wire flipline id just find the length you want and buy the cheapest there all the same really just different colours and patterns ive got 2 new england fliplines they are a few years old and perfectly fine.

Good choice on the spikes the Distels are better with the leather strap on the bottom and velcro top
