Ellen: Hey everyone, I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com and we're going to be taking a look at the soft ride hook and loop tie down straps. So, you can use these for several different purposes. If you want to use them for your bike tie down you can to keep your bike wheel safely secured to your bike rack so it's not moving around, or you can use it for a hanging style bike rack.A lot of times that wheel is just hanging and dangling there, and it kind of swings around in the wind, so you can lock that into place by putting this around the wheel and then around the frame or the down tube, or the cross tube of your bike to help hold that in place. That way it's not moving around and it makes it a little bit easier to prevent it from whacking into your vehicle.You can also use this to hold up a pant leg while you're biking, so if you happen to be wearing some jeans, or slacks, or something like that while you're riding your bike, maybe you commute to work, something like that. You can use these to cinch up that extra material and keep it from getting caught in the spokes or from getting caught in the gears, or your chain, and mucking up your pants.So, keeps that secure. Just a hook and loop strap, so we'll have the loop material here and then the little hooks that grab into that and hold it really strongly.
We'll also get some little reflector pieces, and these are going to have a hook material on the back of those, so you can attach them to the loop material and hold that in place.So, that just creates a highly reflective surface on the strap to make you more visible at night. Alert other vehicles, other drivers that you're there. And you get one of those little squares per strap. Now, this is available in a four pack or as just a single strap.It's going to still come with that little reflector, even if you get this as a single strap, so you can utilize that to keep you more visible at night.The total length from end to end of the strap is 16 inches, but four of those inches is going to be taken up by the hook material, so the actual usable part of the strap is going to be 12 inches long, or about a foot.So, from here on back that's 12 inches in length. The width is about an inch, thickness about a quarter of an inch, and there's no stretch to them.
Just holds securely with that strap.Each of these little squares is about seven eighths of an inch on each side. And that's about all there is to it for our hook and loop tie downs. I hope this video has been helpful in deciding if this is going to be the right piece for you.Again, can be used for a lot of different scenarios, a lot of different options, so hopefully it'll get you out and rolling again. Thanks for watching and we'll see you next time.

These 16" hook-and-loop straps secure your bike's front tire to your down tube to prevent spinning and wobbling on your bike rack. They can also be used to secure cargo, cables, and even your pants leg to prevent binding in your bike chain.4 stars due to slower than expected delivery. Bicycle rack was identified as in stock with expected free delivery 5 days later. Ordered on a Sunday and free delivery was identified for Friday. Each day the delivery date moved out another day with no indication that it had even been picked and packaged. Emailed etrailer to find out why. Received a response stating that free shipping was subject to many factors and difficult to predict. Item was picked and packed within a day of the response and received one week later than originally expected (12 days vice 5 initially expected). Fortunately, I didn't have any scheduled first use so I could wait. Unpacked the item today and everything went great. All material included, directions easy to follow, assembled and installed on car in about 15-20 minutes. Seems to fit tightly and securely. Tilts back to permit opening hatch as advertised. Price was competitive. Hoping to load the bikes on tomorrow and get out for a ride!
Works great. I usually combine 2 in case I need more length
These work great. Have been using them for years now.
This product simply works. Reflective pads are a nice afterthought.

Products works well for my admittedly light use. Great bike rack - really appreciate the tilt back feature.
