Basket Flags

[De Hermit]

My home course has a few blind baskets due to changes in elevation, and would benefit from having some flags to indicate their location. Any suggestions on how to rig a flag to a Chainstar?

Yuo can hand a ribbon in a tree over the basket to show location

I've seen it done before, but would not be practical in these situations due to either a lack of tree cover or inaccessible limbs. Thanks though.

I used pipe clamps to attach a bike flag to two my baskets works pretty well.

Agreed with the pipe clamps. I have a flag on my practice basket with a pipe clamp that secures it, has worked really well, even when it was hit by a falling tree limb from a storm.

I bought these for my Mach III's. Not sure if they would work on the Chainstars....should if pipe is same, or close, diameter.

What do you think of those flags? I put a set on my course in Sedalia, MO and don't think much of them. The different speed indicators don't seem to be very useful and the plastic mount allows the flag mount to lean with the wind way too much. Several have broken in strong wind too. I am considering trying to find a way to strengthen the mount so it will stay straight up and buy a replacement set of solid flags rather than the speed indicators. They offer solid numbered flags for less than $10 a piece that will work with their mounting systems.

i do not like the flags on the basket at all. the strength indicators dont work well. they make a course look gaudy.

As stated above, and quite ironically, I have also found that the wind strength indicator flags do not hold up in the wind.

I like flags because its always windy in Texas and you can see which way the wind is blowing and they look classy if done right.
