Bianco2564 Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Can any bike clothing manufacturer make a decent zip that doesn't break?One of the zips on my Alpinestar boots, just over 2.5 years old, the tab bit has snapped off. Had the same issue with Sidi boots ,my Spidi leathers and Teknic two piece leathers.Normally resort to putting a ty-wrap on it and works just aswell.

raesewell Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 You can get new pulls on Ebay I believe. I have used small key rings in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, had a browse online and seen they may be available from Hobbycraft so will take a trip down there later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
