Ah. Thanks.

Everyone's dreams sit aloft a rungless ladder. Some ladders are higher than others. Some are so tall they reach high above the clouds - but everyone can see their dream. Most people see that their ladder has no rungs and although they may talk about climbing it one day, seeing no way to get there, they eventually give up and settle for what lies beneath it.
      The brave however, the wise, the imaginative and the strong of will seek out their missing rungs. They learn all they can about the ladder, they surround themselves with friends and family who would also find the rungs, and failing all else they craft the steps themselves with their own two hands from nothing. Sometimes a rung breaks and the person falls. Some of these people will fall too hard and lose the strength to climb again - Yet they feel comfort in knowing they tried. They became better for it. And they experienced things and witnessed sights upon the climb that those who sat forever beneath it will never know.
      Then there are the special few who find new steps, or fix and climb again the ones that failed. Who eventually, through sheer tenacity and courage come to reach the final rung - Only they will have their dreams fulfilled. The extraordinary then build new ladders. These are the strongest people of all.

Ooh good question. Because the first kind I used sucked! But I don't think I have the box anymore so I can't tell you what kind the good ones are. Not the smallest kind though. I think mine might be 6 or 7mm. If you can get them cheap, you might just have to go by trial and error. And make sure you're agressive with the tool. The eyelets need to really bite into the rubber to stop the holes stretching and not fall out.

Don't use cable ties, you'll stab yourself doing grabs. I used cushy laces.

i didnt like the idea of laces to be honest so instead i did use the cable ties, cut them flush and put a blob of silicone sealent on the top of each one, wait till it set slightly, and moulded it around the edges of the cable tie.
and it works!!!!! :Cbiggrin:
