M . . . I am currently eating a green chile burrito in Tucson, AZ. I agree with Patrick - once you go green . . . My burrito wrap happens to be green also. Rather than toe straps, I use two heavy duty nylon straps through the bag loops that I bought by the foot (1 foot each). I have then

I use two straps on my burrito, the first to keep the thing rolled as tightly as possible and the second I thread through the first and then around rails to hold it in place. It very rarely still works itself free, but when it does it is hanging by the second strap from the rails. If I was a commi

I put a toe strap lengthwise around my 'burrito wrap' and then use two of them in the other direction through the saddles bag loops and cinch them snug. I then attach a rear blinker light to the horizontal (lengthwise) strap. It works perfectly. You have to arrange the contents carefully to get it

The basic wrap minus the multitool carries well for me if I cinch it up tightly. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/2311256795/in/set-72157604046492434/ I carry about the same as you, but mount it transversely in the back on another bike. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclotourist/3032251371

If you add a little cross strap like on the Acorn 1er, it stays put, even in ridiculous off-road conditions. http://www.acornbags.com/support/rollbag1s_photo6.jpg Gino, modified burrito user, Z. On Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 1:17 PM, wile wrote: > > I carry a bunch of tools and stuff in mine - prob

I carry a bunch of tools and stuff in mine - probably weighs about 4 lbs. I used to strap it to the rails with one strap, but it would always work itself loose. Now I use two straps through the seat loops and it is bomb-proof. Never even slips out of position, doesn't sway, etc. Dylan On Feb

I carry a tube, a Park multi-tool, tire lever, patch kit, and one or two other small items which escape me. I secure it with a toe strap and have had no problems with it coming loose. I wouldn't recommend it for mountain biking, although it'll probably work, but it's fine for the road. --Mike --~
