Attention All - NEW 06 SHOELACES

do you have the colour option chart available yet.
will they come in diferent thickness.
whats the waranty.
any good for jogging
will there be different male/female options.
will the end bits be available with diferent colour options.
can we finally buy a pair of theeses laces where there not both the same colour.
as you can see ive gotta million questions but because of the excitement i have to go and do something i havnt done in a long time.

"all I've heard is that she bloody goes loose easy....... " so, what are you saying Trucky, we should wait a while before ordering - stick with thongs for a while?

Doesn't the lack of intercooler make the second model an 'Elastic Sided Boot'...???

But are they anti spinifex!
I noted you have had problems cleaning it from your boots..
Maybe get them teflon coated!!!!

Ahhhh yes, nothing like a REAL shoe lace.

I am tiring of those velcro wrap overs ( soft options ). People get them, and think they can take 'em anywhere, and end up losing one in the mud.

I prefer the Hi_Tops, army style, real grunt.

oh, so who is a goody two shoes?

Does it come with an automatic version? I guess it would have to have an additional power supply to overcome the torque converter losses.

Are they making a left hand drive version for the overseas market.

A mate of my aunties, friend's, cousin's, mechanic's, neighbour's, budgie Mathilda reckons these shoelaces are rubbish.

He said he blew an aglet simply walking slowly up a set of average stairs backwards. Shouldn't happen.........f#@king woeful IMHO. What if that happened on the CSR?

Another bloke at my work said his old boss told him about a bloke whose dentist did some fillings for a crayfisherman who reckons he had a bow-knot failure in his 2001 model at only 34,000 paces. Aparently the warp & weft of the material was only rated for european reef knots and the Australian one's were experiencing separation in knots tied between Wednesdays and Saturdays. Betts & Betts won't re-tie them now, but if you speak to Berryl at Garden City branch, she'll put in a good word for you.

Hey Truckie, here's a conundrum for you.

If I run my Cat D9 bulldozer on bio-diesel...................am I being 'environmentally friendly'????

ya can getem ona the abay for $2000. with a money back 2yr warrantee if ya live on mars.ya can only search on days ending in y.

Got 2 new pairs of thongs for crisssy one pair white double pluggers for Sundays and other pair blue/grey for every day wear so not really in need of the latest shoe laces but put me down for a couple of pairs when released ,sound like would be perfect crabpot "ropes".

I heard last week that they had just been recalled due to the potential for a fire in the left hand end near the fuel line...

06 model shoelaces.

A recall has been made on the 2006 model shoelace, all colours and all lengths are affected.

Two problems have been noted.

One pertains to the shoelaces becoming entangled if any attempt is made to untie them quickly. Affected shoelaces will create an undoable knot that will resist any attempts at release. Resolution of this problem requires tha user to be patient and slowly remove shoe with a shoehorn or tyre lever so the tension on the knot can be relieved and it can be undone.

The second issue pertains to the '06 models being subject to premature failure if they are tied too tightly. This invariably will occur when replacements are not readily available, or immediately prior to important events.This is an ongoing issue wil this, and all previous models of shoelace. Users are advised to use slip-on shoes for these occasions

Do a search, this has been done before

i've ordered mine wit chrome plated grease nipples and turbo charged tie rod ends .........Cheers

Q: what are the little things (usually plastic) on the end of shoelaces called?

I don't care how good they are.

After such problems with the last model going BANG!!! and the manufacturer not wanting to know about it, you'll not get me into one of those bleep box's.

As the saying goes, you can't beat cubic inches.

Hey truckster, I know where there's a brand new Hyland hitch if ur interested ??

Cheers,

muzz

Will Footloose be able to use the better design of shoelace Truckie, or isn't he Shoeloose?

Mr T (I will avoid using your real name to preserve secrecy)

I overheard in the pub, so it must be true, that these laces are being trialled in the Paris to Dakar rally.

Are u able to confirm or deny this as I understand that these laces are performing exceptionally well.

(do you know if they are 'standard' off the shelf laces or have they been re-worked for this event?)

Stop It!
Stop It!
Stop It!

You're making my HEAD HURT!!!!

Where are the facts ?

Its rubbish , these Shoelaces wont stand up to Aussie Conditions.

Same thing can be imported from Upper Mongolia at a pooftenth of the Cost.

Has Truckster REALLY got a job? Y/N?

I've actually heard that these "shoelaces" can get tangled around accelerator and brake pedals when driving and turn the average 4WD into a pedestrian mauling tank! Hmmm, first bullbars and now shoelaces..... :-)

Hmm I think we're almost done here hahahahah Y/N?

Had to happen I guess but I saw the first Chinese copy of then in my local $2 shop today. They look as good as the real ones...

I still don't care. Untill the manufacturer admits responsibility for the previous pathetic effort then they can "bash it".

When installing those cheap Chinese knock-off shoelaces for off road action, wouldn't it be best done by a member of 'Thread Lightly'?

I have T shirt which is emblazened with " I missed the 05 Shoelace Thread "

Looks like I have missed this one as well....sigh!

Oh well, back to button-up boots

Apparently there is going to be a story on them tomorrow night on 2day 2Night. Something about them being a con promoted by a shyster.

Bloody hell Truckster, I go away for a few days and you set up a new record attempt on my favourite subject :)))

I'll just have to copy the damn thing before it ends up in the bit bucket again.

WTF is this all about, must have missed something along the way. I'll have to start using more of that 12 gigs/mth I get.
