Is it possible to replace the strap on the road trainer. I have now bought at least 4 because the straps don't last.

Hi Georgia, I am on my 3rd watch:( I love them but they are not durable my straps have broken also. You can mail it to Timex because they do have a warranty and I think they can fix it . I haven't done it because... I wanted to replace my watch right away. In the back of the Timex booklet for the watch it has all info for mailing.

I had the same problem with the straps and had to get a new one. So I don't think so. It's the weak point of this product, unfortunately.

Can not help you on this. The one that I purchase lasted about three months, straps broke and other problems so I toosed it.

The strap cannot be replaced. It is adjustable though. I'm 5' 10" and have it at its default and the top of the bag sits about halfway up my back. If I extended the straps all the way out it would be down at my hip like a shoulder bag. I just prefer the higher, tighter position.

I can further confirm others' comments about the shock mount. The elastics in mine broke and I've had to hack something together with rubber bands!Can anyone suggest a good replacement shock mount--or just a regular mount as, in my situation, the "shock" aspect is overkill.

Did you ever find out how to replace the wires coming out of the bike? Of course our dog ate the ones coming out of the bike, not the one they sell on the website. Thanks

I have been wearing mine on and off for about two years, more frequently the past few months. The velcro on the middle strap is starting to not stick as well. I might try to figure out a way to rig it, but honestly for the price I might just order a new one. This split works well, better than others I have had.

Its not unusual for a bike with a quick release tire to not fit in the trainers. Mine didn't either, but my sons bike did. It's an easy fix though. The skewer ( the nut and rod that hold the tire onto the bike), needs to be replaced for one that fits both your bike and the trainer. When I first heard I had to do that, I was really disappointed, thinking it was going to be a harder job then I could handle. But if you youtube "how to change a rear skewer", you'll find it its a really simple job. I ordered a new skewer from Amazon. The one I ordered is called CycleOps Trainer Skewer. Although I have read that others were able to go to a bike store to buy one. It took me about a minute to switch the skewers.

How I did mine probably won't help you. The bag's original strap snapped into the bottom connection. The part that broke was the strap piece. The bottom piece was still intact and I could thread the new strap into that.

Its discontinued? Oh man! I need back wheels my front is fine. I am same boat as you. If I would have known I never would have purchased and its such a shame cause its a great ride my kids love it. If you found anyone or any sites willing to help in replacing tires let me know please. I would greatly apprecaite it. I was thinking of taking the wheels to a bike shop see if they can fix it if all else fails...

There are no places for straps on the pedals and I doubt velcro would hold up. Would suggest the local bike shop as the connecting threads on the pedal bolt appear to be standard.

Yes I've had a strap break at one of the holes. But the other side of the hole is still attached. It seems like another strap is getting close to breaking too. Not sure how to avoid this. I use it as a double bike rack the most so I've been moving the good straps to the main rack and the broken/weak ones to the supplemental 2 bike rack that I rarely use.

If memory serves, it comes with the connectors. I remember just taking off the old strap and putting on the new; no removal of connectors necessary. But it has been a little while so my memory could be faulty.....

My husband does not use the strap. He did confirm that there is only one place to attach. You could possibly call Chapin and get an answer. Sorry we could not be more help.

It's not too difficult. just unwind the existing strap and note the way that the strap is fixed to the drum. Detach the existing strap. and reverse the process with the new strap. You can most likely use the existing attachment hardware unless it's badly rusted or damaged. If that's the case, you might have to replace the hardwire or the entire winch.

I believe this "Wearlink" was replaced by the Soft strap. The picture on Amazon is wrong. When I ordered this one I received the soft strap. I called Polar and they told me it was the replacement for the "Wearlink" strap they no longer carry. I purchased it to use with my Garmin transmitter as the Garmin strap is terrible. Not sure what the "Smart" strap is. I checked Polar and when I look up "Smart strap" I get the soft strap. I can wash the soft strap and do about every 7 to 10 uses (just take the transmitter off :-) ). It keeps it smelling fresh and consistently providing accurate readings. If you don't wash them not only do they start to smell bad but it can also affect its operation due to the by products in your sweat. My soft strap works great. I purchased a second one and transmitter so I can leave it at work in case I forget mine at home. Hope this helps.

I used the same set of straps for multiple full cross country race season's with the same foot wear.. I never experienced any major damage to my foot wear.. I will add, the straps became more comfortable with age, and cutting off the excess strap made using the other side of the pedal much easier. Hope this helps.

There are two per pack, one right and one left.However at about two months both regulators straps broke. Can they be replaced?
