forest of dean redneck 11,621 Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Piece goes either side fork then the elastic band type stuff wraps round to keep it on doesn't it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 26,729 Posted December 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 No mate,some guy gave me it,the lacky was tied through holes in the fork originally,after a few weeks it snapped,i justbwondered if there was a more secure long term way to fix it,the square lacky on the old milbros used to last ages,this flat stuff doesnt seem as durable?

Greyman 28,544 Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Looks to me like the wrap has just unraveled mate, easier to go on utube and look up wrap and tuck method and just re-tie the band to the fork, if you are not likely to start tying your own bands I would stay away from flat bands as they don't last long in use and don't store well in none use, I,m a little biased mate, as I love em, but I would rig that up with a set of 1745 tubes 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 6,485 Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 I'd get a band saw on the sides of the forks to the holes near the top so you can fit looped tubes on it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dave88 1,565 Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 (edited) Its a great feeling catching your own grub with a catty....no fancy sights or anything like that...just a fork, some rubber and your a ball bearing Edited January 20, 2018 by dave88 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
