Thread: Is it just me?

Ive never had that problem. It’s just how you get out.

Had it happen once 15 years ago…..Always waiting for the second time.

Of course you’re right…. I’m just glad no one has seen me get hung up in a self help inflicted wedgie.

Ps. I’ve only had my 110 for a month, and I’ve already done this to two pairs of jeans.

Just fitted a set of those. Saves the jeans/trousers and improved the door latching. Both the original strikers had worn plastic rings and for the life of me I could not get them adjusted properly. With the X Eng X-Trouser striker problemo solved

I've also got the Xtrouser latches. I find they need an occasional application of white grease to stop them being noisy as they don't have the plastic sleeves. Not a biggie but they are very annoying once they start squeeking. On the other hand I destroyed two pairs of pants in the couple of months before I fitted them.

Yeah the X trouser latch squeak is bloody annoying!
As well as grease, you can also loosen the Allen key bolt and spin the metal sleeve around to a non-worn section. That stops the squeak for a while!

Try having that happen when getting out of a 101. Both times it’s happened to me it’s caused me to fall 3 feet to the ground - not pleasant, but the onlookers thought it was bloody hilarious so was glad to have provided some entertainment along the way once I dusted myself off.
