ilanB Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Got my 292K yesterday and wore it today the first time. Suddenly after few hours I felt it slipping and caught him before he reached a hard floor. The part that hold the strap was broken, screw still in the case on the other side I can feel some wiggle on one side of the strap holder (what is the proper name?) - the other side feel firm. I emailed the dealer and asked for his response. What do you think, is it just this part being fragile and just replace it ? Thanks, Ilan Here are the pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcollector Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 this is typical of Rads. My guess is the strap bar wasn't positioned correctly when they put the screw in. It's an easy fix. Try to remove the screw and set the strap bar again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilanB Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) Thanks, After a closer look I noticed the bars don't look broken but it is two parts so opened the screw and replaced the bars in both sides. It seems firm and nice now Thanks for the advice and being patient with a noob Ilan BTW I must comment on Andrew - he immediately answered my mail (sent just before posting here) to know if any screw is missing and to explain what to do.

FxrAndy Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Just one of those radiomir things, thread locker may be a good accessory to stop those screws coming loose again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pakz Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Making sure that the lugs are correctly screwed on a connecting well trough their tube is one of the first things to do with a rad... and after any change of straps, tugging a bit to make sure every thing's OK is a must... Better have the lugs detach from the body in your office than in the street and cry!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asf Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Buy some Loctite blue (small red squeeze bottle) and secure those screws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
