I've never known a rigger to replace a bungee before it breaks. Elastics, however, are.

i've never known a rigger who didn't inspect a safety stow, and replace it when needed.

Sorry, but your "Elastics are bad" argument is weak at best.

rubber bands that are not Mil Spec chemically react with brass, causing them to break down. how is any given rigger to be sure that the rubber bands are Mil Spec on any given rig?

maybe you should take the time to get educated instead of throwing up your hands and crying "Racers suck".


i will not say racers suck, but i will say the speedbag does not have a design advantage. it does however, have a maintenance disadvantage.
