i'd be proud to be able to aford a quality fence that you would build. I only need about 200 linear feet or so...

It may be possible to replace the entire strap instead of scabbingn on a piece. and BTW -- if you had only trimmed 0.70 +/-0.0001 -- this may not have been a problem.

I would think the strap is replaceable.

And my strap snap works fine, always has, on two Arai's. I don't thik its useless. Don't cut it off this time. Use it. Or put some velcro on instead.

Ahh.. I didn't cut it off because I thought it was useless.. rather it had become severely frayed around the red snap.. to the point that getting the button/fray through the d ring was next to impossible.

Not to pick too much, but pull that calculator back out, Rick. The prob would not have occured at .66 +/- .0004. Re-check those figures man!

I think you engineer types need some educating from a Metrologist.. Your basic uncertainty equation is fatally flawed.. Can you guess why?

My Arai XD helment

strap had a small 'button' you could fold back and connect to the main strap to fold the excess length to presumably prevent flapping. Worthless. Well, the button eventually led to the strap fraying... so I had to cut the strap about 0.75001 inches short (exactness of measurement exclusively for those in-gin-eers our there who love precision )... and now... it's too freakin short... a royal PITA to strap up..
So... is it safe to simply cut the strap even shorter, have a good seamstress weld, err.. sew an 'extender' piece on?

Or am I due for a new helmet?

Couldn't you have used a soldering iron and "melted" the frayed trap back to something approaching normal?

What about adding a quick release. I would think that it can compensate for what you cut off.

I use the Echo Helmet Quick Release and it's a neat product. Nice safety features: metal-to-metal contact and will only release on a double button push.
