Tie down straps

[Glenn]

Could anyone point me in the the direction of a supplier of webbing tie down straps suitable for a cycle carrier rack?

I've found these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Straps-Bicycle-Carrier-different-colours/dp/B00CVS4ZLY/ref=pd_cp_diy_1 but was looking for other options.

Screwfix sell a number of cambuckle and ratchet straps. I have used their cambuckle ones to tie down sheets of 18mm MDF to the van roofbars. They are blooming strong.

See here...http://www.screwfix.com/search?search=straps

There are loads on Fleabay too...http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_t...raps&_nkw=cambuckle+straps&_sacat=0&_from=R40

No need. Just use bootlaces.

If you don't need ratchets, go to your local motorbike shop and ask if they have any straps that come transporting new motorbikes they are going to throw away. I used to have a bunch of them from a Triumph dealer, 1" wide, fairly soft and just a sprung cam to hold them in place, but perfect as luggage straps and considered disposable by the shop. That is presuming they still use that method of course...

Another option, aimed at motorcyclists mainly that I read good things about:
Rok Straps
In fact I've bought a pair recently - haven't got round to testing yet
