C-1 Ratchets stripping!
Okay, so I bought myself some snowboard ratchets bands to hook my legs in my C-1. So far so good. Then I install them, they fit well. I ratchet them to secure my legs and they start stripping clean off, the plastic dents in the notched band that feeds into the hand ratchet strips and small chunks of plastic shread off... Has this happenned to anyone. What am I doing wrong. Is it because there is a slight twist in the feeder strap as it feeds into the ratchet band strap? Both the ratchet and bands were used (paid $50 for the set) but looked brand new!
What gives?
Any opinions?
THanks,
Paul

Somethings not right (obviously) in my 26 years of snowboarding, I've never seen them strip like that where the plastic is being chewed up as you mention. I would take them back and get a different brand. Might be cheap chinese stuff.... in my C1 I use snowboard straps and they are twisted a bit. Don't experience anything other than a tendency to not want to loosen easily.

Hey Larry
And All,
Thanks for the responses. I will try to return the straps tonight and see if I can get better ones. If I can't, then Larry, where is your shop and do they shop to Ottawa, Canada?
Thanks,
Paul

Thanks
Thanks Larry,
I got a refund for the stripped straps, thank goodness. I went all over Ottawa, looking for straps, every ski-board shop and finally got one pair, new and cheap ($20). I hope they work. I will post.
Thanks again,
Paul
