Hello everyone. So I switched velcro on my rollerblade straps that I’m making for the V2 version. The Velcro is much nicer looking and a little thicker which I like. I also like that there is no seam since both the hook and loop are on the same strip. Because of that they are a little less grippy than the original velcro I was using. But are the grippy enough for rollerblade straps?In order to test this I decided to hang from a tree limb by the straps connected to Sunday Brunch laces and Powerslide carabiners. I was very shocked with the result of this test! I think you will be too!
My V2 velcro straps are around the corner! I am updating the Velcro for my V2 Velcro straps. It’s one piece Velcro that has the hook and loop in each strip so there’s no seem in the middle. It looks cleaner and slides through the metal loop nice and smooth. And its thicker so it adds to the strength of the strap. It’s a little less tacky or grippy then the old 2 peice but it can take a sweat stance like nothing. I’ve had no issues with it. And I was crouching low in attempts to pop open the Velcro in this session and it wouldn’t budge.The V2 will use the same veg tan leather as my belts.The Velcro is joined to the leather with the same glue and rivets as the v1 but I added a nylon stitching around the edges. And I carve a small channel for the nylon stitch to sit in so it’s more flush with the surface of the leather. That should protect the stitch better.Let me know what you think!
