Securing Ortlieb to Luggage Rack

[Tailspin]

What type of straps do you guys use to secure an ortlieb rack pack bag to the luggage rack? Oh yes, what do you secure the straps to?

Seen the Rok Straps but not sure the loops would fit through the slots on the rack?

Rok Straps

Rok straps work great. Easy to attach and detach.

Go down to your dealer and ask him/her for a few of the straps used to secure new bikes to the shipping crates they are supplied in. These straps work better than anything else I've come across and are free! It doesn't get better than that Oh and they fit through the slots in the rack too (my old bike is shown with an Adv rack but they worked just as well with the standard rack).

cargo net - quick and easy

Rok straps with the occasional cargo net added in for good measure.

I used to use the straps pilfered from dealers and they work perfectly well, but the Rok straps have the advantage of being easy to fit, strong and secure whilst being quick to release when you need to get to your destination and wanr to unload.

Iv'e used the TouraTech straps for a couple of years now without any problems. They used to be cheap not sure what they cost now

Cheers guys. Do the Rok Straps (Not the hook type but the type with the loops!?) fit through the slots on the luggage rack?

Cheers guys. Do the Rok Straps (Not the non-hook type but the type with the loops!) fit through the slots on the luggage rack?

Yep, no problem

Why do you want to buy some? I'm near Nantwich pop round and I'll give you a couple of the BMW type

Can't say fairer than that.

Ah, meant to say does the loop type of Rok Strap fit through the luggage slots on the edge of the rack where the pillion seat normally sits? I am looking at the 1" wide 54" original Rok Straps.

Cheers fella. Not seen the BMW straps. Are they as adjustable as the ROk Straps?

They do with a little persuasion. For ease, I tend to put them around the Vario pannier struts, but if you were planning on leaving them on most of the time then it's worth putting the effort in and putting them through the slots.
