Gtbaker369 44 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 I'm not an expert by any measure but by the looks of the catty it's designed for bands rather than tubes. Tubes are generally attached by threading through a whole and then wrapping together. Unless one of the more experienced guys on here know any different you might want to drill a whole in each fork. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I bought it from a fella on here mate who asked do I want bands and tubing for spares, which I said I would try them. But it's got me a bit baffled to. I can see what your saying though about poss needing holes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gtbaker369 44 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 thinking about it, I suppose you could attach the same as bands. I've not seen many of them like that but suppose it would still do job 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JoeR 5 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 You could drill the forks or put leather tabs on tied with waxed linen, then tie through punched holes in the leather. Or just go and put some flats on to save yourself time 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shouldn't of thought that pockets done it much bother mate maybe if you had extra tight ones lol Bands will snap very quickly I've found there's a reason on the YouTube videos they have metres and metres of the stuff lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Just wrap and tuck them as you would flat bands and shoot it over the the top (OTT) as its designed to do. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
