I'm sorry to bring a downer on the present festive nature of Mundane News, but I am sorry too announce that the aglet, sometimes known as the Flüglebinder, came of the nearside lace of my offside boot when I untied it at the end of todays' ride!!

what a sad loss, it is difficult to replace a reliable Flüglebinder but it can be done, use quality 3M sellotape on the now fraying lace tip, wrap tightly until required thickness is achieved then snip the excess tape off, there you have it, new home made Flüglebinder.

Thank you for your concern... It'll take a while, but I'll get over it, with help.

I might have to adopt steve50's idea. I'll keep you posted.

That sounds like the vegetarian option of Dr. Wolfgang Flügles original use of shrunken sheep's intestine Worth a try though!
