Evening all,

The zips on the pockets of my jacket are knackered too...
Where are the zip menders? They've probably gone on holidays with all that SSIA money..

What kind of keyring or paper-clip would you recommend?
Do you use the standard double o-ring? I was going to buy one of these from eBay:


Or should I go for one of these?


The keyring looks sturdier, but the paper-clip looks more flexible..
Would carbon fibre be over-kill? I just can't make up my mind..

Broken zips dont always point to bad workmanship. Here is a useful list of ways to avoid busted zips.
Jacket zip busted: Ease up on the biscuits there fatty.
Trousers zip busted: Eys on the road not the eye candy on the footpath.
Pocket zip busted: Buy a more economical bike.
Boot zip busted: Dont wear your flares inside your alpinestars.
Glove zip busted: Remove the Rolex before putting the gloves on.
There, simple...
