crampon straps

[kbone]

I have an older set of crampons and they need new straps. Can you make straps? If so, anyone have instructions? If not, where can you buy straps? Thanks in advance.

Are you talking about the old neoprene straps? I still have them on 2 pair of crampons. They're tough to put on with cold hands, but I have never had them break on me.

 

SMC makes them.

No, not the old style... I am just looking to replace an ankle strap with a strap that goes through a toe bail safety strap...

Have you tried to contact the manufacturer? They may ship you a strap free of charge. I've had good luck with broken pieces from my Grivels being replaced free and clip locks from my Arc'teryx pack too. Might be worth it to ask.

I, too, am having difficulty picturing what you're asking for. If Couloir didn't get it with the Scottish straps, I don't see what you're asking.

 

However, if I assume that you've got step-ins, then are you talking about a Grivel-style attachment system, as shown below?

 

 

If so, follow Mikester's advice. I would think Grivel would be happy to help you out.

You got it... I am looking for the Grivel style show above (actually just found some).

 

I have the style show below and one of the plastic clasps broke. Additional I got a replacement toe bail with a safety strap so I want to replace the current ones with the style show above.

 

Thanks for the responses.

My pair before my Rambo 2's looked an awful lot like what you've pictured there. They were Camp Ice Invaders (basically Lowe Foot Fangs without that stupid big red sole plate). Same thing happened to my buckles. Got too damned cold and they just exploded into pieces.

 

Glad we could help you out.
