Title: Heavy Duty and Holds Tight
Review: I had to buy a pair of these after a friend donated a Yakima rack to me that was missing the straps. These are made of very heavy duty plastic, and the ratcheting action on them will clamp your tires down as tight as you need to. I just hope they stand up to a few years of being in the rain, sun, heat and cold.(Update, 6 months later) One word of caution. Because these are made of some kind of plastic, DO NOT torque them down really really tight on your wheels, or else the teeth of the strap can get worn down in one spot. This can make the buckle jam and make it almost impossible to release. You'll be looking for a utility knife to cut the thing off. I was carrying a heavy old Schwinn on my roof, and tightened mine down a little too much. Almost didn't get it back off.
