kbone Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couloir Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbone Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike1 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 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.

sobo Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 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... 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbone Posted December 15, 2007 Author Share Posted December 15, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
