feedback on Decoweenie travelframe

Guys,

I have been using cambands on 2L and 3L tanks for the last 4 years without ever having any band popped loose. Just make sure to keep them tight, and position the buckle behind the wing (for example) so they can't swing open.

On one of the posts above, I mentioned about using the DSS pad and a inner tube to add more security.

I have the original scubapro bands. They really have superb grip on the standard 3 ltrs. If yours do not grip considder putting a rubber band over the cylinder or buying the original ones. Please understand that I did not cut the band but changed the direction a little.

Alternativlt jusst bend the 'C' shaped metal part of the cam band to fit the contor of the cylinder.
This is what I have done and it works very well, I used Standard AP cambands, however I do beleive that they do a 3 litre version.

A thought on the weenie case...

Why not put the bottom on the other way round so it has a flatter bottom?

If you mean the Travel-Frame, the top and bottom ends are identical.

Did I not understand your question with that answer ?

L shaped side on. make any sense?

Must say we spotted a Weenie frame at Vobster yesterday and very nice and sexy looking it was too...

Once I have my electronics sorted...

he he

I'm definitely up for one, I just need to find out about what is going on with my unit first, if this is going to be a saga I am extremely serious about switching units
