"Les Amateurs" straps

thank you sir!

Got them.
This is what awesomeness is made off... fucking brilliant João!!!

Love mine to bits.

They look cool. But all these straps people are making look exactly like JOL's.

lulz. wah wah wah.

nuknow: go ride those filhos-da-puta! ; )

^Wrong comparison mate, those have metal work to it, João's ones are more like surfing leashes.

which pedals have people been using with the amateurs straps?
tried to fit a pair to three different pedals and can't fit the straps through.

cheers.

^ they're supposed to be used with platform/bmx pedals like odissey twisted. I can get you some black cheaper ones if you'd like. pm me!

I've been trying to get them to work with my pedals for days, but can't figure them out. Can someone let me know where I'm going wrong?

cheers for the response.
i've got a pair of eclat pedals but they didn't fit the holes so wasn't sure.
will try some odyssey

So how do I order them?

Henry - Rik still has a load of JOL straps and is around most days for collection but if you are set on the LA straps ignore me.

^yeah, ignore him and pm me.

anyone contacted Joao recently?
I sent him some money in July for some straps, they haven't arrived and he's stopped answering emails/forum messages...

Hmmm.... I used to have frequent contact with him.
Let me see if I can reach him, last time we spoke (over a month ago), he was going through
some issues, and I think his sewing machine was broken (can't confirm this).
Will update.

So i've had no contact with Joao and can't get my money back because he insisted I pay via paypal 'gift'

not happy....

João is sound dude, I've spoken to him last week.
Will do it again. he's had some personal issues, nothing serious, but if the straps
were paid for and never arrived he will refund you. No doubt.
