Touring Equipment

Thanks Jimmy_Fingers, have you got any close ups of the rear setup there?

What were you using as compression straps and lashing???

I've been looking at....

20mm velcro strapping. I thought of bungy cords but I don't imagine them to be stable enough to stop the swinging.

Nothing fancy, just nylon straps with plastic buckles picked up offa ebay for next to nothing. It was a very cheap set up but effective. The only slight issue it getting a bump from the bag on the back of your thighs on the downstroke. You could avoid it by finding a way to taper the bottom of the drysack, perhaps stitching it (which would compromise it's waterproofing of course) or even duct tape. As yet I've had no chance to experiment further, but those were my thoughts while riding it.
