This strap kit is essential for carrying large bags on your trips and comes with every Packer Rack Set.
The G-Hook strap made loading bags horizontally onto the Packer Rack easier. It temporarily suspends a large and/or heavy bag in the centre of the rack, freeing your hands to set up other locking straps.
Two long cam buckle straps offer flexibility for securing medium to large bags, and are the best option for fastening a second bag on the top of the first one. When carrying bags in irregular shapes, the included linking strap can prevent the locking straps from slipping outwards.
Ensure the mounting hardware has properly installed on your bike before loading.
Tighten all straps as much as possible.
DO NOT use only one G-Hook Strap to fasten an item. The strap may come loose during riding.
DO NOT use these straps to secure or lift extremely heavy items. Please follow the maximum load specifications of the bike rack.
Set up and loading bags on the Packer Rack
The videos below demonstrate how to set up each type of strap and provide recommended steps for loading the same bag. The 10-litre bag in the videos weighs around 3 kg (6.5 lb).
Loading and unloading with the Nylon Strap Kit
Loading with G-Hook strap and tension straps
When loading with heavier bags, the G-Hook strap could save effort in holding and balancing a bag before securing it in place, especially when in the field and the rack is facing downward.
