Hi all

I have ordered an ocean raceer strap for my BB from Andrew Michaels

Firstly what a great set of people there - all helpful and great price / discount

Secondly as I don't trust myself to measure my wrist correctly and can't get over to Andrews shop I am going to size the band myself and would appreciate any tips on getting this right.

I dont want to take too much off or indeed too much off one end

thanks in advance for the help that I know you guys will give

Regards

John

And thanks to Admin it's also in the FAQ department:

One thing to mention - if you don't have a good knife, it's better to use a good pair of scissors instead of trying to saw your way through the rubber.

Good luck!
