The Second Keeper On A Strap...

[kasigi]

Does anyone else get fed up with it moving around and glue it in place, or is it just me?

/edit - I didn't explain this very well, read post 8 in this thread for what I meant in more detail

[Guest pma45]

Yes

Just you

You're on yer own there bonny lad! I like me straps long and the second keeper has it all tucked in nice.

Mmm, long.

How does 150x90 sound?

Here it is with the second keeper firmly glued.

When it's on and fastened, there are just three stitches of the strap poking out

[Ptolomeo]

I usually remove it

[thelawnmowerman]

Yes , If you dont use it , remove it .

[kasigi]

Perhaps I'm not explaining it right.

On straps where the second keeper isn't used, I remove it. This would be any commercial strap, I've never found a pre-made one yet that's long enough for me to have to use two keepers.

However, on custom straps such as the one posted above and this one:

I glue the second keeper in place so that when the strap goes through it, I don't have to mess around adjusting the position.

Is that clearer?

Aye that's pretty long

Nice PO by the way.

[Pugwash]

I remove them.

I remove them as well and now I have a full bag of keepers...

I only have my second keeper on my XXL straps (150+ length)

[Highflyingclive]

I remove them.

So do I.

I prefer straps with 1 keeper. Kaktus and Greg both have 1 big keeper.

I have always found that keepers are the first thing to go, so I keep my second one on as a kind of reserve for when the first one becomes to shabby or breaks.
