The first one I made had a clip buckle. It only fit a road tube so I gave it to my brother. I only had one clip buckle left when making this lot so just used what I had.
If I make anymore I will have to buy more materials so might as well get clips. It works on the same principle as a ladder lock so shouldn't really be anymore secure but like you say easier to get into.

These look great, really neatly done and nice to have a little bit more capacity.
I have a big-x top roll, and two others made by my mum based around a similar design and I have never found this style of closure to come undone. However I have found it frustrating if/when I need to access the bag in a hurry. Have you tried making them with a plastic buckle style clip? Having used similar rolls for a while this would be my only modification, but maybe there is a good reason everyone uses the same fasting you have.
