Increase your Strap Ons lifespan!

We've been getting a bit more coverage lately, this time from the chaps at 14bikeco.  Their FRS Strap On review mentions wear and tear on the side of the straps.  Although our straps are unbelievably tough, unfortunately wear is inevitable; things simply wear out over time.

When we designed the Strap Ons however, we realised that this was the case, and decided to harness a design idea that encourages adjustment and rotation to increase lifespan.  When installing your straps you may notice that the design is symmetrical.  The right foot is identical to the left foot.  This means that when the outside of your drive-side foot starts to rub down, swap the entire strap to the left pedal.  What was once on the outside of the right pedal is now on the inside of the left... Double your lifespan!

This process can be repeated not only for the entire strap body, but also the rear "crab claw" strap.  As this strap is both vertically and horizontally symmetrical, you can have four wear patches per "claw".  You can swap it from foot to foot, as well as flipping it; outside becomes in, inside becomes out... all manners of confusing rotation!  Rest assured it now means you can have a set of straps that will last longer!
