Selected User Reviews For Pro Taper 1.5" Tie Downs (Black)
I liked the straps at first because they appeared to be well-made and had an advantage over traditional straps that used a hook rather than a carabiner. Another nice feature is the velcro that holds them together, as well as the swivel on the hook, which prevents tangles. However, something unexpected happened on my second trip with them. We hit a small bump on our way out of the park after a long day of riding, and when I turned around, one of the bikes in my trailer had tipped over and fallen into the other. When I came to a halt to investigate what had happened, I discovered that the metal swivel section had failed, causing the strap to separate from the carabiner completely. Fortunately, we were not on the highway at the time, and it landed in the trailer rather than over the edge, but it made me seriously doubt the strength of these straps. Who knows what would have happened if it had happened on the highway or with someone who had a hitch mount for the back of their vehicle. The straps are very nice, but I'm afraid that this will happen again every time I use them.
After about a month, the straps began to fray. I contacted the seller via email, and they assured me that a replacement would be found. After about two weeks of back and forth, I gave up on trying to work with the seller and went straight to pro taper. I received a replacement taper from Pro Taper right away. The product is appealing to me, and it performs admirably. This is a good thing because Pro Taper stands behind their products. This seller receives a one-star rating due to poor customer service.
I probably have every type of tie-down system imaginable, including the most basic ratchet tie-down system. The ratchet ones, the non-ratchet ones, and everything in between Without a doubt, this is the most straightforward and user-friendly method. I've used some user-friendly tie-down straps. It's what I use to secure my dirt bikes, and it's never failed me. I really like how it has an Incorporated tie-in. The Handlebar is secured with a down strap, followed by a swivel Bass to keep the rope from twisting. It's pricey, which is why I put it off for so long. Now that I have it, I'm glad I did, and I'll probably get another one to replace my older tie down straps. It's also nice that the access strap has a velcro strap that allows you to neatly fold and secure it after tightening it. It appears that they have considered every detail, and as a result, I believe the price is justified.
With motorcycle tie down straps, this solves virtually every issue.
- Bottom hook is held in place by a carabiner on the bottom. br>- The swivel keeps the strap from twisting and makes it easier to put on. br>- Soft loops are pre-installed. br> Perfect length, not overly long like most other strapsbr>- The cambuckle design is faster and safer than ratchets. br>br>The only minor criticism is that the swivel could fail. Never put a lateral load on it; just pull in the direction you want it to go and you'll be fine.
Other tie downs are a waste of time. Simply pay the extra cost and get these! For securing motorcycles, this is the best design out there. Padded hook, large swivel, and built-in soft-toy loops and velcro straps to secure everything and prevent it from flapping in the wind After using these for the first time, I threw away all of my other tie downs. There are now four of them in my collection. Awesome!.
I'm a strong woman, but I've never been satisfied with the amount of movement my bike retained after I used tie-downs. downs. I needed a tie down that would make it easier to remove the slack. My boyfriend had some and let me borrow them until I could afford my own. I really like how simple it is to secure them. The carabiner is great for fastening the straps to a carrier or truck bed, and the velcro for the extra slack of strap is nice to keep your straps from flapping around. I haven't experienced any binding or twisting with this strap, which I have experienced with all of the others I've tried (traditional and ratchet). In general, this is a fantastic product.
These straps have been in my possession for over a year. I'd used ratchet straps before, so I was skeptical about the safety of a "motorcycle strap" that appears to be nothing more than a few metal teeth holding your bike in place. However, after extensive use (at least every other week) on numerous trips and even across a variety of terrain, I must say that the straps are excellent! Even when my back wheel slammed into a curb at high speed, the shock knocked another strap off (not a pro taper), but the straps stayed tight and my bike was secure. These straps are fantastic. What a fantastic item!.
I like the caribeaner-style bottom hooks that don't come unhooked when you hit a big bump. Excess strap is kept from flapping in the wind thanks to the Velcro loops included. I've put thousands of miles on these straps in the last year and they're still going strong. Furthermore, the loops at the top of the hill do not cause any damage to your bicycle.
