I use the extender... I think I needed to use a wrench to screw them on. Need to be careful because it's plastic. Don't want to crossthread or overtighten the extender.
I'm worried about the plastic too. Can you take a look at your strap and see if there are any exposed threads on the strap or it you got it all the way in. In retrospect I wish I had gotten the mares spring straps. They were 8 dollars cheaper too.
Mares makes a spring strap?
Anyway, here are my strap extenders... one is tight all the way and the other is just a slight space between the extender and the connector to which I just took a couple wrenches to it. Now there are no spaces between the strap, extenders, or connectors. Basically finger tight with a wrench. I had no problems but thread is tight. Should be no problem using a wrench. Be careful not to crossthread. Once you are sure it is screwed on properly, it should be easy using a wrench.
Yeah, thanks for the pictures that is exactly what I needed. I have a xl fin with size 11 fourth element boot. The official mares spring strap is an older product that must have discontinued. They cost less than the bungee product now if you can find them.
