Cruzr Buckles

Waist Buckle


Leg Buckle
 
Replaced mine so... I am not worried... ;)
 

This buckle is a bit heavy but I like to tie into the D-Ring as a backup. It's what I use on all my saddles.


This one replaces the original buckle exactly as it is on the Cruzr.


This one is adjustable on both sides. Make centering the buckle easier with layers. If you care about that sort of thing.

1.5 inches??
 
I'm looking forward to receiving my Method and then trying to find somewhere online to score a few of those buckles... assuming I'm gonna like them as much as i think I am. So far can't find them anywhere.
I have a earlier version TX-5 xpand which needs much improvement on the leg buckles and those look perfect.
Sorry, unreleated to the Cruzr, but at least I'm talking buckles.
 
While I understand the desire for a reliable buckle, do the buckles actually ever carry your weight? Seems like they are useful for keeping the saddle from falling off when not using bridge or linesman, but when am I ever hanging from my buckles?
 
I am still blown away by the amount of attention non-load bearing buckles are getting. It's almost to the point that it seems like slander. The waist buckle (the only one that matters) is rated to 24kN or something, its stamped right on it.

Anyone find the weight rating of the tethrd T hooks? (rolls eyes so hard I fall backward)

Any old company can stamp something on metal, but that doesn't make it rated or strong. There are companies out there that falsely advertise their products' qualities. If you're selling something to a jeweler, I promise he is testing the intrinsic properties of the materials and not trusting whatever is stamped on the face. I think it's my right to want verification that the waist buckle, which can literally be the difference between paralysis and walking, life and death, is good enough. If you want to trust your life to stamping on metal, instead of the reputation of the company that's doing the manufacturing (and stamping), be my guest, but that gives you no right to be condescending to others who are more cautious.

I am still confused though. The belt buckle should not be load bearing unless I am missing something. All your load should be on your bridge loops or your linesman loops no? I am having a hard time thinking of a situation where my belt or leg buckles is every carrying my weight, but I might be having a brain fart??

I believe you are correct.
