Mark Warren Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Where did you find the 1/8" clips on amazon? I can only find 3/16" or bigger. Would like to keep the shock cord diameter at 1/8" thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beansbats Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 This is a great thread. I love seeing what everyone is doing for their skate lace replacements. I have been making different versions for about a year, and here is a pic of the current version. Mine are a combination of 1" tubular webbing and 1" plain webbing. I also have used .5" tubular webbing as a protective sheath around the elastic. -steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to see how they hold up vs Velcro Just a quick update... shock cord based stuff doesn't integrate well with the abbreviated Warrior toe system. I'm using the ARS toe strap now. First skate with them tomorrow night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't loosen up, but my adjustment period from 1" toe tie on a sliding toe bridge to the ARS took some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoalNet Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Nice, pretty simply design. I am still shocked that no one is doing round elastic at retail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been told this set up is exclusive to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what makes it so "military grade". I purchased some 3/16" cord from a camping & gear repair store local here in Edmonton, and it's pretty much the same stuff... at 20cents a foot. I've actually switched to using 1/4" cord from the same place and after a year of skating 3-5x a week there's still almost no wear on them.... so i guess it's all "mil spec". @cwarnar - you're not using the Canadian Tire cords are you still?

Aside from some weapons there isn't all that much stuff that I ever came across that was any different from the civilian version of the same object. 7 hours ago, Vaughnlife79 said: Check out monster hockey,they have Hal straps,universal for any pad,best on the market Debatable...

I figured that if it were true “military” spec, that it would not even be available to civilians. LOL I like Monster’s stuff, but am not really keen on their customer service.

I have a couple of unique testing protocols in mind, including what the fundamental note is when stretched with equal tension and weight. Yes- that will actually tell me a LOT.

I think with the lack of a traditional toe bridge on the Warrior pads I have to go longer than my usual 8” of shock. I’m super happy with the ARS system and likely won’t move back to shock cord based toe strap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doobiesnax Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Im replacing my boot straps with some 1/4" bungee shock cords this weekend. Grabbed all the material from the aforementioned @Kayen alluded to above along with a pile of other mod material for $12 cdn at lunch. I'll post pics when I'm done!

Totem is a great place for materials. I'm retrofitting a friend's XLT pads with a bunch of bungee cords, since it seemed to be the cheapest route.

Netnewbie Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Here is my variation on the toe straps. I used a swivel hook on both ends. Elastic is covered in a skate lace. I cut it to length of it fully stretched. I used shrink wrap to secure the lace from moving. Strap is placed on skate before putting on and secured with link on the toe bridge.
