I haven't had the problem with rolling Yakima bars. Just lucky, I guess. But here's a thought for those who do have that problem: Several people have recommended bonding emery paper to the inside of the clamps which grip the bars. Sounds like a simple and effective fix. Others have been told to strip away the plastic coating from the bars (just where the clamps go) and wrap the bars with masking tape. The result has been rusting of the bars. So - Rather than strip away the plastic bar coating, why not contact cement (or epoxy) a bit of emery cloth to the *outside of the plastic* which coats the bars? Might have to sand that coating lightly first - and would have to be careful not to wrap too much emery paper around the bar. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Oct 27 1999 - 09:32:57 PDT
