Help: Blackburn Flea front light

6 comments

Hi

I am looking for some help, I got a blackburn flea front light but have lost the velcro strap that came with it.

I emailed Blackburn to see if they can send me a new one and they said no.

I have tried finding a velcro strap which is small enough to fit through and has plastic loop at the end as well but no luck.

Anyone got any ideas on what I can do?

thanks

Have to check for size but those straps come with minipump holders?

Not ideal but; Zipties? Semi permanent and will work as a "quick fix."

Look on the Madison website - all of the constituent bits of the Fleas are available.

I'll have a root around - I may have a spare you can have.

Replacement straps are available to purchase through Madison dealers:

Your local independent bike shop should be able to sort you out.

Or get any bit of velcro and cut it the same width as to where it straps through the light....then stitch on the "buckle". Sorted.
