Voile Strap Alternatives

Post by Wurz »

Anyone used sea to summit stretch loc straps? Seem almost identical but about half the price, what's not to like?

I use FIXplus straps. I reckon they're all much the same.

Yeah this was pretty much what I was thinking, nice to know I'm not alone.

I use a Mrs Grape strap for my downtube bottle when I have it on.

Length-for-length, those almost exactly the same price (and some of them are more expensive for the equivalent length) as Voile straps off of Bikemonger.

I have had a blue fixplus strap holding the air filter on my work lawnmower for the last year. Sun/rain/vibrations/heat/cold/petrol/wd40/tears of existential angst.
Still working fine.

A slice of inner tube held my 700ml water bottle in its down tube's bottle cage quite firmly over 90km of the South Downs Way yesterday. Not as versatile and easy to use as a proper strap, but free and still useful.
