One strap had blown and the other was fraying on my evo 2. That’s whipping twine for the win. It held on the first outing yesterday. We’ll see if it’s got stamina though.

Whipping Twine ........................ I broke an Ash spoke/spindle on one of my favorite Cherry rocking chairs (1986).
I glued, clamped and then whipped it for extra strength.
It's been fine for the last 2 - 3 years !

Did you use a fid or a needle?

Used the fid for mooring rope, little over kill.

Nah, just a whipping needle

They are holding up beautifully, still looks just as good
