There's a choice of fasteners that work similar to in concept to Velcro, but
differ in that they lock positively and do not loosen, not even the
slightest bit. They would completely (and neatly) solve the sagging arm
problems.

About a year ago I brought this to the attention of nomorecarts, but they
didn't seem too interested, and obviously, didn't think it was important
enough to bother with.

What fasteners and where do you get them? Never heard of anything but
velcro, which isn't all that hot.

I had the same problem -- the tubes would get cought under neath the
cartridge ..

. and i found a free solution also..

.. (i have the MIS CFS btw) .. which has a support piece made of acrylic
plastic which stands at an angle guiding the tubes down to the cartridge ..

.. i inserted a normal business card underneat the tubes (right where the
support arm is at .. the business card goes underneath the tubes and extends
about 1/2" past the end of the extension towards the cartridge.. the
business card is sturdy enough to lift the tubes just enough to keep the
tubes from getting cought (or hitting the bottom of the rails) .. and i've
only had the replace the card once since i fixed it about 3 months ago

Moreno,

that looks like a good alternative to velcro. Thanks!
