I've got a Wolfs Tooth B-Rad mount on my trail bike, it's a metal plate with a couple of long slots cut in it which mounts to bottle cage bosses.
Wolfs Tooth provide a velcro strap that passes through these straps and you use to secure a bag.
It's hard to get enough compression using the velcro strap because, I suspect, you tighten it down and then everything in the bag shakes around and moves so some slack appears.
This causes the bag to fret, and whilst it starts out waterproof it has soon got a bunch of holes in.
I'd like to replace the strap with something that can tighten down better - either a fabric strap with a boa closure or a rubber strap/similar.
I'd also like to replace the bag with something that can compress itself, and is waterproof.
What have people got or seen that would fit the bill?
