Nothing is more annoying than loose gear on your touring rig. A lot of folks turn to bungee cordsto hold bags to racks and to hold extra items in place, but bungee cords lack a distinct ability to cinch down to different sizes. Enter the Surly Junk Strap. It is essentially a very long toe strap that allows you to tie differently sizeditems down as tight as you want without fear of it working loose. They're great for flatbed racks as you can basically attach anything from a box to a bag by tying underneath the rack and over the whole bag. You will likely need at least two straps to properly secure a bag. Finally, you can easily shorten them with a pair of scissors if needed(be sure to melt the cut end to prevent frays). Make sure all your cargo is secure with Surly's Junk Straps! 120 cm with steel cinching clamp Sold Singly or in a bag of 6. | Surly | Junk Strap 120Cm | Black | Stainless | Black | 120Cm, Pack Of 6
