AS most FOX EXPLORER barrow owners know
the handles are a bit like elastic feel as they dont have a cross bar and Fox dont give a monkeys otherwise they would have sold a retrofit crossbar to fix the design fault and until now using a ratchet strap across them helps fix it

but reading on a facebook group I found out that the Prestige carp porter mk 2 handles with cross bar fit straight on
and an instant massive improvement for £35 ish LINKY POO

Not quite the same but has anyone got any suggestions to replace the ****ty foam on the Trakker barrow handles.

The foam has ripped so a slight downward hill and the barrow is away

My handlebar grips turned up today. Nice tight fit, they won't be moving. Makes me wonder why Trakker use ****ty foam ones that break very easily when I've just improved on the original grips for 3 quid
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
