May trade name pa ni Cataps
Look at the handsome plastic buckle tongue
I have a carbon fiber shoe bought about 3 years ago. Its buckle attachment broke, and so with the plastic buckle tongue. Papa Ric, our oldest biker, 84 years old reattached the buckle hardware (for loosening and tightening). However, the tongue was not made as well, His repair broke right after I tried it. His repair cost me the equivalent of $5.00
The plastic tongue was made by Cataps. He made it from old pail, and he bought a new large cutter. It was well done and it fitted well. My Scott bike shoe is as good looking as new.
Have your bike shoes and other shoes repaired by Papa Ric

Mabuti di ko ipinamigay, carbon fiber kasi
The buckle attachment now new, hand sewn by Papa Ric

Salamat Papa Ric; salamat Gerry. Marami pang magpapagawa sa inyo
