Trimmer buckle and strap replacement (Nucleon, Plasma, Plus Moto and Atak)
Sometimes after long use the trimmers cease to operate correctly, i.e. they slide away of their intended position. This occurs only with the 20mm wide risers (used in Plasma, Nucleon, Plus Moto, Atak). In some cases it is just a matter of accumulated grease on the tapes, so first you can try to clean them with kleenex for example.
Currently all these canopies are produced with some "steps" sewn on the trimmer tapes which stop the sliding buckles, thus minimising possible asymmetry.
If the trimmer tapes are worn out and tend to keep sliding away, they should be replaced. For this we prepared a dedicated replacement set, including:
- two new trimmer buckles with removable cross-bar for easy exchange
- two new trimmer tapes with "steps"
- some glue to prevent the screwes from getting loose.
Below you can see an instructional video on replacing the buckles. To put it short: the old buckles are sawed in half (they have a fixed bar), removed and replaced with new ones.
