can a toggle keeper be fixed

[skip 0]

The top toggle keeper on my left riser is splitting and is frayed about half way up, is this somethign a local rigger can fix (just sew a new one on) or do the risers need to be replaced?

thanks

Sounds pretty simple - can't imagine why something like that couldn't be fixed.

Still want to actually talk to a rigger, tho.

Yes, it can be fixed pretty easily. Often it is caused by improper stowing of the brakes. That kind of damage occurs when the locking loop is above the ring, rather than below it.

Anything can be fixed...you just might need to find a bigger loft for some of the bigger things

BTW, fixing a toggle keeper does not qualify as a "bigger thing".

gravey job. Any loft with a sewing machine can do this. (should be able to do this)

Done that before. It tore off completely. Had to get it replaced.

.. I had it done... tore the keeper right off in fact. stowed on brake inproperly.. the first week I had my stiletto..

Made for an "interesting" opening.

I won't be doing that again.
