One REI 18" sport wrap does the job very well. Using two achieves that ultimate stability goal: the "nearly buried boulder" (do I have to footnote a snippet from the RBW site? pay royalties? hope not, but that phrase is too good not to use... thanks, GP).
This sport wrap is a style of hook-and-loop cinch strap that tightens down easily. Run the wrap through an *inner* set of slots on the SaddleSack's bottom leather panel unless your rack is super/abnormally wide. This has the added benefit of producing very little wear on the bag, as the relatively weak leather isthmus one might use for zip- tying is not stressed. Not saying that that little leather bridge is insufficiently strong; I've used it for months and it seems I could for years. Just saying that the larger span is stronger. I expect that each sport wrap will last months but not years. They're not too expensive. If only RBW would cause to exist and then sell a leather or cotton-web version (with hook-loop wold be fine) that would last as long as the bag. ;) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
