Straps to fasten oversize bottles

Post by Catrike16 »

Hi,
Can anyone point me in the right direction to acquire the rubber straps for attaching oversize bottles etc, I want to take a Klean Kanteen bottle slung under the down tube and want some extra security to hold it in place.
Cheers in advance

Voile straps are most fashionable at the moment

Come in a variety of sizes, so just measure what you need

Bananafingers has some voile-like straps on sale. I have them and like because unlike Voile they don't go really broad as the strap length increases. Think they're by Sea2Summit or maybe Exped.

Polaris also do velcro straps (the version that has hook and loop throughout so sticks to itself at any point). They do some wider versions that I imagine would be good for bottle-securing.

But you could do worse than support Stu and buy some Voile straps from the Shop here.

I'd not want to use velcro for an under the down tube strap, it'll end up full of cack. Voiles work well IME.

I use these .... never have unintentionally come undone ... I have 4 different lengths and use a short one to secure a tool bottle case under the down tube in a bottle cage. It's spot on.
Viole would easily be as good, possibly better though I'm not sure how..
Obvs with these you can join them together as they're the same width irrespective of length.
