mamaking[TK] Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 So I am not the only one having this problem. I have a webbed strap connecting the bell to the shoulder strapping. We added the black elastic piece to keep the bicep piece from sliding down. I recently added an elastic piece, with velcro, on the inside between the bell and bicep piece. I have always had the issue of the bells rotating back. Super frustrating and Armour bites suck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

tat2trooper[TK] Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 I have the strap with snaps from shoulder bell to shoulder strap and also to the bicep. But I also added velcro straps as well from bicep to shoulder bell. Seems to work for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamaking[TK] Posted July 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 I used to have to straps with snaps but everything I moved, the came undone. The handler was about to kill me...lolSent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeMrTibbles[501st] Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 On the webbing from chest to back, how far back is the popper that the shoulder bell elastic connects to? From the first pic it looks quite far back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 If you move your mounting point on the shoulder straps further towards the front it will help rotate the biceps forward when you move. Example: Appears yours are positioned quite a ways back, bringing the snap forwards will definitely help 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamaking[TK] Posted July 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 I will try that. Trooping Friday so it will be a good test run. Thanks!Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the first pic it looks quite far back.It's actually centered on the shoulder. I guess I'll move it forward and see if that remedies the issue.

mamaking[TK] Posted July 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Moved the straps forward. Right side looks good. Left, not so much. I honestly think that bell has a mind of it's own. Also, I noticed the left knee needs to be in front of the thigh armour, not behind. It's been 16 months since I've worn my TK. I've got some work to do!!Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Looks like one side is much better, perhaps try bringing the strap even further forward, obviously the left is more difficult as you are holding the blaster and moving the arm a lot more. Some foam behind the knee can help push forward the sniper plate so it sits in front of the thigh. Looks like your left shin is rotating too, you can add some velcro behind which attaches to the boot, or even some elastic and snaps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
