It is not a 5 1\/2 foot tie strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why should I choose doubled and stitched leather over nylon?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Safety and stability. Nylon can stretch over time or under the heat of friction, causing your saddle to loosen during a ride.
