Canyou recommend a BUNGEE ?!?!

Post by Philiptigerrice »

I've been using a FABULOUS Lomo Dry Bag for some long distances recently - they're cheap , hard wearing, keep your kit dry - and generally superb.

But, I keep having to replace the sodding bungees I use.

The slightest bit of chafing and they're in tatters. I did have some really good ones which lasted yonkers - but they got lost - and I can only get shitty ones now.


Anyone recommend any that'll last more than 1 trip please?

Rok Straps do various types.
I've tended to lose them before wearing them out.
Also have a look here http://www.adventurebikerider.com/forum ... traps.html

Used bungees for years until I discovered Rok. :blush: I haven't used bungees since.

Excellent kit (thumbs)

unequivocally ROK straps are the DB's / the EO's.
Once used you wouldn't go near anything else.
Lightness is everything.

Lightness with Grunt is a Scratcher!
