Has anybody who has been pimping their toestraps kept the the old ones they have taken off?

If anybody has a pair of second hand toestraps about 800mm long, my OK could desperately use some. The unpadded webbing is not all that comfortable!

PM me if you have any secondhand ones I may be able to purchase.

Surely heated gloves would be a better solution?

What about fitting some air-jacks and actuators to that front wheel - just so it can do a little dance on the slipway - this might be worth a new thread - "Pimp that wheelbarrow" LOL
