That sounds similar (or maybe less than) what i've carried in my burrito wrap without loss. I also use two toe straps, usually one around the seat rails and the second one forward around the post, seems more stable that way. It seems like it's more stable if it's not a totally solid bundle, and can be cinched up in a bit of a curve (as allowed by the wrench anyway). I also usually have a small chunk of rag in mine to wipe hands if needed, it could be that the extra squish from that lets it be more snug or something. -- Bill Connell St. Paul, MN --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
