PINHEAD69's elite double quick release knee straps
« on: September 23, 2007, 01:49:04 PM »
hi all...   well      here they are....   yet again
lets see if they get another 7600 views hmnnnnn.... may take a while :-)

INTRODUCTION..............
firstly for those of you who dont know me from the past thread...
i actually invented these straps before i could even really walk on the stilts...
as when i first ever tried them on, i felt so unstable and unsecure.......
and just by looking at the original straps, i thought, hey i can make something much better than this...
(actually...the words that came to mind were slightly different to that)  ;-)
being always into making and inventing things, i proceeded with the task in hand...
the funny thing was... 2 months later.. i was still to busy making them for people,
i didnt get time to go out bocking... making over 70 pairs for people to date.... ironic huh....
FIRSTLY.....
these straps are a quick release version idea, which i came up with
after realising how long and awkward it was to tie stuff around your knee, which would loosen within 10 minutes of use...aghhhhhhh.... pain in the butt
they are a double strap version with back pads for added comfort
and these straps are designed, so all the buckles are hidden away from potential impacts... clever huh....  as quick release buckles are generally made of plastic and would not withstand to many heavy blows...
i use the best quality buckles i can find... normally nexus... so they are the strongest... but from time to time, these can change......
they attatch to your bar via a centre strap, which once you have got it tight, you leave it there :-) you dont take these off unless you have to.... 
once these have been fitted and adjusted to your prefered tension,
(and believe me...these can go well tight.. i would suggest comfy...but thats entirely up to you...)
you can click them both up within 15 seconds.... yeah...that quick :-)
they litterally take 10 seconds to take both off...and thats including out of your stilts...well i can anyhow hehe....

PRICE DELIVERED..........
i sell these for £21 via paypal...and thats delivered to your door UK..
REMEMBER...bank transfer via paypal takes up to 5 days to clear...
so if you want them quickly you gotta get in early....
i do ship them also overseas...so pm me for the extra delivery costs....
or...you can send the cash, or a cheque (which takes longer) so its up to you..
i use a few basic colours to make them..mainly any combination of... black, red, yellow, pink, blue....ie all red with black centre strap, all black and so on...its better to have a black centre strap as it hides the dirt...so see pics...
and should you want a colour of which i do not use normally... i can get that in
at around £3.25 extra..so just add £3....so basically you can choose whatever colour you want to match your stilts....
i would advise against light colours as they show the dirt more...
but you can wash them.....so hey ho....
i will post instructions for fitting them later on in the thread....

PLEASE NOTE...
due to the extreme nature of this sport, i do not guarantee
the straps or buckles in any way shape or form,,,they are very very strong and heavily stitched for the abuse you will give them...they will last you if treated and fitted correctly....so please read the instructions....
as the webbing used can actually toe a car..the breaking strain is emmense
the design will help as ive put the buckles in a location which would avoid all potential impacts at the side of your leg...so remember this before you proceed..
i make a very high standard product, as i am a fussy git, they look manufactured.. just ask the people who have had them...
many thanks.... pinhead 69

IMPORTANT..FOR PAYPAL USERS
please check that the address on your paypal is the address you want them sent too, if not, there is an option to state what delivery address you want them to go to...
thanks....
INSRUCTIONS for fitting.... page 2 of this thread.....

EXTREME ELITES...08/08
ive added a few pics of the super strong extreme version...
they have a very strong release buckle and the underside is doubled up with 2 layers of webbing..the pink are beckys new ones and the blue and black with red underside are now allllll mine ;-)
excuse the pic quality as it was done on my phone...the pics really dont do them justice...they look similar in appearance from the front other than extra stitching showing, but they sooo dont to the touch....they are as stiff as me in the morning....and can take a real bashing.... damn thats almost porn....

you can see on the underside pictures,
i can stitch like a b***h... ;-)  but this version does take longer and will reflect in their price...TBA
flying monkey has a pair of red/black, becky the pink/black so ask them what they think of the stronger version...
my opinion is, they will work exactly the same as the others,with the only exception, they can take more abuse...

The stock straps don't strap you in tight enough, so your legs still wobble around in the knee bars.  Buy these and you will feel so much more in control.

awww...
i feel bad when i know youngsters are saving up to buy them...
shouldnt show my softer side eh....
tell you what.... under 16's
if you have a standard quick release buckle
i will make them for you ie   lara   at £18 delivered ...
thats if you have a colour or mixed colour of which i already have
like  red/black centre strap
black/red centre...all red.. all black.... yellow/black centre
pink/black centre....
they work just the same with these buckles..
but the buckles are just not quite as strong thats all......
but hey...they are out the way if impacts so its cool...
as for you older lot....sorry.... as you can afford it lol
if it helps youngsters bocking then so be it.........
£3 extra to you older lot is nothing... to youngsters it is...
so older folk...dont tell fibs...that would be sad INIT...
does that sound fair to all.... ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
i will do a competition soon for non strap owners to enter (tis only fair)
to win a pair of elite straps... getting into the community spirit and all that...
i will sort it out with naz asap....
but a pinny comp will be slightly different... well you know me eh...
either a lottery type thing..allbeit boring and easy...
or something completely different like
you submitting a 30 second video of you singing without music.. constantly.....
no nursey rhimes... but real artists.... ok
should be funny.... dunno... im thinking about it....
and guys....thanks for your replies...they are much appreciated.....

Hey Pinhead, glad to hear you're getting better! If you're well enough to stitch some more straps, how do I order a pair from you? Or maybe 2 pairs?
Take care!

INSRUCTIONS FOR FITTING MY STRAPS....  (ELITES)
hello all you lucky strap owners...
for those of you who have them, i dont need to explain what they
do for you, secure wise or jumping wise...soooooooo

FIRSTLY...
these straps are designed so the buckles are away from potential impacts...
(clever huh) :-)
(new versions are now all left and right sided)
the quick release buckles when fitted...will go to the outer side of your legs and the adjuster buckles to the inside...remember this when attatching the centre strap.... should you have tape on your knee bar...it would be better to remove it
where the strap sits...so the centre strap grips better....
also...some brands of stilt have a really soft knee bar padding...it is best for it to be harder as when you pull the centre strap tight it doesnt squash it up to nothing.... mine are 7's so its quite tough....
they are also best used wearing pads...as you should be anyhow...ok

FITTING CENTRE STRAP
the centre strap has 2 buckles...one is stitched and one is moveable...
the smaller moveable buckle should sit exactly on the top of the knee bar from looking above the stilt.... and the larger stitched buckle on the underside away from impact and contact from your legs..see the pics (new versions have a large floating underside buckle also) so it can be replaced should you break it).......
when threading it through the buckles..do it the same way as i have sent them out to you...(tip) as this will go tight or should do if you have done it properly....
for some people, it is better to thread it through all the buckles once while being slack..then pull it tight afterwards..then do it again... as threading it through the top buckle after pulling them tight will be awkward,otherwise, just pull tight and keep feeding through the buckles....it should wrap around twice for double protection of the centre strap..trim it off, an inch after you have passed through the buckles twice......  (mine do not move....so if yours do.....pull them tighter...although this doesnt really matter as once they are fitted and clipped to your legs, they cant go anywhere)....im just fussy :-)   so do your best...
the crossover point of the straps should sit perfectly central to your knee bar looking from straight inline with the bar....see pics...

ADJUSTMENT
firstly...get your pads on then put one stilt on including doing up your bindings.... take your time...as once they are fitted to your prefered tension and liking....you wont have to do it again...regarding you always wear your pads in exactly the same place...remember this...
also..dont go extremely tight... go for tight but comfy.... this comes into effect when in the getting up position.... just a pointer....ok
now sit down and fit them with a straightened out leg...
when feeding the webbing through during adjustment...ALWAYS unclip the buckles...this gives less stress to the buckles and stitching and it is much quicker
than tugging away at them... trust me....dont pull....thread them through a buckle at a time...
if it helps.... remove the pads for now and replace them afterwards...leaving enough space to refit them...the buckles slide so this is easy done....
it can be harder for first timers or non thinkers to fit them at first.... im quick but had lots of practice :-) so be patient... you will get it...and be pro in no time...
once you have got them close....stand up...as your muscle mass changes, you
may need to tweak them here or there... if so...unclip them..sit down with a straight leg..adjust slightly and then your done....
as they are made to fit all sizes...you may have some overhang on the webbing...
if so...trim them to about 3 inches of overhang...slightly melt the end to stop the fraying with a small flame like a lighter...then cap them off with the end caps i have provided with them
use pliers to pinch them tight...neat and finished...
PLEASE NOTE...
should you have the stronger nexus type buckles as these can change from time to time...watch your skin on adjustment
these babies are very strong and clip real tight with a snap..you only do it once :-)
NOW GO OUT AND PLAY....
what !!!!!! you still here.... enjoy

UPDATE...
i now do a new version...
although the others didnt really need it, ive made them so that now
the centre buckle can be replaced if you break it...
it has'nt happened up to now, especially if you fit them correctly so
the larger buckle is directly underneath the bar.. but it can only help eh...
ALSO...
all my previous versions were one sided, meaning all the release buckles were on the outer right side of each leg...my reason for this was...should anyone lose or damage 1 strap, i could remake some without the mix up of, is it left or right....
from now, they will be all left and right, so the release buckles will be on the outside of each leg, so do check....
so there you go...2 new additions....
but wait....
i also make an extreme elite model, mainly aimed at flippers
and people doing many stunts, they have stronger buckles fitted
and the webbing is doubled up and stitched...these will only be made by request as they take more time to do and they will cost more....so if your not doing back to backs etc, you really dont need these....as the normal model caters for all that too, these ones are just for those who big it up....and want the best there is...
