IDEA... rear handle

Wait what college do you go to lol

We still had some longboard theft at my college, but not too bad. I still would never leave my board anywhere outside, locked or not.

Thanks! Its a paracord grab handle from Bartact. It comes with eyelets pressed into the band that serves as the core of the handle. The eyelets are perfectly sized for M5 washers, which is great because it allows you to center the handle screw holes with the truck mount screws. Then I just added a wide flat M5 washer, M5 CSK washer for looks and of course the M5 CSK truck mount screw.

I have one extra if you can pick up from the bay area. Probably does not make financial sense to send it :tipping_hand_man:t2:

appreciate the offer I really do… thank you for the offer… but the only thing I lack to make this is a 5mm ID grommet… I may just check out the hobby store for a 5mm grommet anvil and send a pink over black handle to @b264 for secret shhhhhhhsh santa

I was wondering if I could just epoxy the ends of the one I have, and drill a hole through it…

very interesting ides though

seems a lot nicer than the kayak handles

I have no idea… no pik … but if you heat up the nylon when it k00l it’s a solid… you could drill it…

then you have the conundrum…

to grommet or to not grommet

to nut or not to nut

Of course I am talking about threaded bolt retainer devices

Honestly grommet would probably work better than an embedded nut though
