THE BETTER TETHER
This is one of those products that makes you wonder why everyone is not running one of these . If you ride trials long enough , you ’ ll experience some of the downsides of a normal stretchy tether . They get worn out and break when you need them most . Or you may jump off the bike and get snapped in the face by the magnet as it pops off the kill switch .
We have been running The Better Tether for nearly 2 years and they work great . They pop the magnet off the kill switch without recoiling . The shorter length makes them less likely to get caught on a branch as you ride past . The material is comfortable against the wrist , the bead holds the tether in place . The tethers are sold without the magnet cap .
The best part of The Better Tether is they are made by Laura Peters . There is nothing better than trials gear that is made by trials riders . Laura recently introduced a nice aluminum magnet cap , if you are in need of one of those too . The Better Tether is available from most trials shops in the United States . You can check the Better Tether Facebook page for updates on dealers who have received new shipments .
