    GREAT velcro

    I know you racers all may find this helpful.

    I've tried lots of types of velcro and this shit is BY FAR the best stuff I've found. It's Velcro brand extreme.

    The adhesive on the back is ridiculous, almost too good if you ever want to get it off. And the hook and loop sticks like superglue.

    I found it at Staples in this ten-pack. Shit is amazing.

    I'm not sure what double locking stuff I was looking for

    But this stuff would work very well.

    Re: GREAT velcro

    Velcro is sweet. I used this stuff by 3m called Dual Lock. Can find it at Rat Shack, but I bought a roll of it on eBay. This shit his tiny interlocking mushrooms that exceeds the holding force of most of the standard hook & loop velcros.

    All about 3M Dual Lock

    dual lock is awesome, Target usually has it in a few strips of clear or black for ~3$, I only got the clue to check ebay for it after I blew about 40$ attaching electronics.

    The dual lock is something like 3# of dynamic load per 1" of fastener attachment, not freaking bad. I use it to hold on a GPS and a Radar detector (the radar detector is on my bike, and on a mirror platform/in windstream) and doesen't even budge.


    The Velcro extreme adhesive is awesome, and the hook/loop portion is definitely taut - but a continuous load on it will seperate it via working it apart. The dual lock stays locked unless the load exceeds its rating.

    Yeah the dual lock stuff is good, that's what fastlane/ezpass uses. If you call fastlane and askf or more strips they'll send them to you for free

    THe adhesive on this velcro is better though, so it's kind of 6 in one hand half dozen in the other.
