velcro method for pedals

Postby hawaii121 » Wed Aug 11, 2010 8:36 pm

Hello All,

I made this with my iPhone and the format got messed up, but you can still see what I am doing to attach velcro without messing up you pedal... Hope this is helpful.

Thanks, I always thought you ran the velcro the other way, but your way makes so much more sense! :music

The problem when I try this is the velcro prevents the lid from fitting back on the pedal snugly...

I know what you are saying, I've had pedals that the back goes on easily and then the CAF was a struggle to get the plate back on. I think the key is to get a crease in the velcro running over the lip on the plate.

This seems to be a great idea. I have been recently struggling with ways of attaching my pedals without damaging them with velcro. Hopefully this will work.

cheers,
Jon

Per Bisc - the velcro slip can make it difficult to close the back. So the next trial is using fabric to wrap and fabric glue to attach the velcro to the "diaper."
