SKS Race blade rubber straps_where can I get replacements?

Edwinsprint

I have got a pair of Raceblades but the rubber has gone on one of the muguards. I could use velcro straps but a bit fiddly. Any ideas?

Do you take them on/off much? I expect zip ties would work.

Yep, SKS say that you can use zip ties. Look under: 'Permanent Attachment'.

You could also contact SKS via their website for spares.

I fit mine with cable ties.
You must have better ones than me, the fron mudguard is absolute crap to fit and you have to bend them to get the to fit properly.

I've the Tor-Tec and just use zip-ties, good grip. The front one is a bit fiddly to fit, due to different shapes of forks. I did manage by bending the stays a bit.

I went out for a ride yesterday and spent 30 mins of that fixing the front ones as they kept slipping and rubbing on the wheels. They can be a b*gger to fit.

I have since screwed the black plastic bit to the mudguard to stop the stays slipping on the guard.
