Christopher, I used a heat gun with gloves. Some closed cell foam helps too,
for some molding. I molded the hooks on the rack, took the plate off and heated
the hooks again, and then just barely tightened the hooks by hand, and hold
'till cool. No rattle.

This is really interesting. How did you form the plastic snapdeck on the
bottom?

No wobble at all, when all wrapped up tight. I was actually shocked how tight
the load (tent and pad) is secured. The secret is in the flex wings and the
two side straps (they attach to the mid rails of the rack) that tighten the
load, by pulling down on the wings after you roll down the top. I haven't
tried riding with a full bag of groceries in spinnaker mode yet. I have a
hunch, it will be very unstable....lol. The spinnaker mode is kind of a joke
due to the bag being so big, but it actually has some merit in holding the bag
open while loading, and it should block some of the cold from hitting my
thighs, when it's in the twenties...
The Tires are from VEE rubber. VEE made Intense's super fast fat Micro Knobby,
which I loved. Intense dropped them, so I went looking at VEE's tires for
something similar. The tires are the MK3 model, 2.20". Love them. Fast, light,
soft, and enough traction for off road. The handlebars are the Sycip singles
bar, which are no longer on their site. They are super wide, 26", and have a
nice bend. So much nicer than drops, especially loaded and when on single
track.
