Simbars bike rack straps

Just got a Simbars 3-bike rack from John Craddock, which looks like just the job. But: was a bit surprised/ disappointed to find it didn't include securing straps.

Plenty available around - but all seem to start at around 2.5m long, which seems excessive. Can someone recommend a shorter , 'tidier' option on these?

Thanks,

Johnny.

Usually those shorter straps do come wiv the rack. Hard to find em, dunt fink even Halfords sell short uns. I googled it fer ya and came up wiv nowt much.

Mountaineering shops sell various straps and quick release buckles.

Halfrauds, and big DIY stores do loads of rachet straps

Where did that unprovoked attack come from?

Me thinks you need to get out more, get yourself down the high street and you'll broaden you horizons.

there are these things called shops..... apparently you can get goods in them in exchange for money.

ooo - easy tiger!
