Replacing Handles?

[KCBerg]

Do you really have to replace the entire cord if converting the old skierg handles to the new green ones?

Hi,
I'm using the new Skierg which came with the green handles. Since I bought the Skierg to prepare for skiing on snow, not just as a fitnes tool I swaped the handles directly (well after three sessions if I shoild be corect) to swix triac cork handels and triad 2.0 straps. Did not take me more than 5 minutes to fix. This way I can have more correct technique and also prepare my hands for the pressure that will be during racing. If wanted I can post a picture of how I did it, just let me know

Best regards
Stefan

Stefan - can you post photos & instructions on how you did this? Also, it is a "portable" option. My local gym just bought two of the new skiergs and I would like to be able to train with normal ski straps on them, but obviously I couldn't leave the swix handles/straps on there after my workout.

Thanks,
Steve

I have the new green strapless handles. I'm a total beginner and got very tired holding onto them during the Tour de Skierg 5k, so before the 10k stage, I added Salomon power straps, just by tying a knot with the cord above the handle through the loop at the top of the straps, very confortable, it really allows me to losen my grip and not lose the handles. 30 seconds installation.
