Apparently no one so far.. makes straps for 42 radiomirs!!!
 
So I asked the dealer, what kind of sizing my strap is.. he said it's 25/20...

i can't seem to find this configuration anywhere!!!

would it be weird if i use a smaller width like say 24mm/22mm??

i still would prefer to get stock sizing!!.. but it seems impossible unless i do a custom ABP order.. which is quite expensive

can't seem to find anything under 200USD

You trying to use your deployant?

24/20 would work too.

Yeah trying too..

im trying to picture 24/22... i just have a feeling it wont look as nice with the gap in space between the wire lugs

i put a 26mm on my OEM 27mm sized 45mm radiomir and couldnt tell a difference. .5mm on each side is not much...

It'll be fine. I put 26mm straps on my 27mm lugs all the time on my 45mm Rads.

Looks good... ABP is such a nice strap too bad when i approached them for a quote it was soooo expensive!! im debating on ordering it or not...

did you get it tapered? and if so what does it go down to?

26/24. I got it in their premade section and wasn't as much as a fully custom one.

I'd find a good 24/22 and ditch the deployant.
