Adjustable rubber rack straps, where to buy?
Does anyone know where to buy ESGE bicycle rack straps like this in the
US without costing more than the whole rack? https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/uIcAA...Bv/s-l1600.jpg They are rubber which the blistering sun has now shot. In Europe these used to cost $4-5. Adjustment is without any excess rubber dangling into spokes and stuff. Or maybe something similar that has such seamlessly adjustable rubber straps. Bungees or Arno straps are not so cool for sensitive loads. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

Arno straps can be adjusted almost infinitely as far as pressure goes. I wonder what "sensitive" loads he's carrying on his bicycle? Liquid nitroglycerin perhaps? Joerg's posts are quite entertaining though. Cheers |

I didn't know they made adjustable bungees which is exactly the function I was looking for. It's on our Amazon shopping list now. Thanks, John. Frank and Sir: This does work for me. Reason why Arno strap won't work well for this particular job is that I often carry softer materials and sometimes even a large fruit or vegetable. A bursting plastic malt syrup jug would be real fun on a bike. Arno straps or cinch-down straps can be adjusted but their pressure comes on hard so I'd have to carry buffer material. For the rack I need something with flex that can be adjusted in tension, no extra buffer material needed. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

Then you might lose your load. Cheers |

You should put your delicate cargo in a pannier. Grant Peterson recently publicized an interesting trick. In his example, the delicate cargo was an expensive camera of some kind. He was using a bike with a metal front basket. He used two cargo nets. One he stretched across the top of the basket to form a sort of trampoline. The camera sat on top of that net, suspended above the baset floor. The other net went above the camera to hold it down and keep it from bouncing out. It seemed to me that would work pretty well, assuming you had a basket on your bike. (It wouldn't work for Joerg, of course.) If you need more capacity, buy a trailer.
