New Luggage

[nick crisp]

Just been looking at how to fit some new Oxford luggage I've got. (RT60 & RT30 tailpacks) The idea is that you use Velcro straps to attach to the seat, and straps with double-D rings to tighten everything down. Well, I've gotta say it, I don't like them. I don't particularly trust the D-rings to stay tight when holding down the bulk and weight of my camping kit. The under-seat strap has to be velcroed very loosely or else the seat won't click locked. The larger of the two packs goes on first, and then you're supposed to be able to strap the smaller one on top. However, there are less attachment points on the bags than with the older style stuff. But I think I'll be cargo-netting and bungee-ing everything on in my usual, perhaps Heath Robinson, but much more secure way. Disappointing.    (but goes to show that I'm not overly biased towards the company I work for  :\ ).
