I've carried my canoe on my cage twice. Each time it was a process to strap it in so I felt I would not get any movement. These things will make it much easier. I'll put my canoe up there and use the included straps. After a few times I'll cut the straps to not have to wrap them all over the place. I carry a few extra straps with me so if I happen to need a longer one, I already have them. Yakima Keel Over |

BTW, Wondermonkey, still looking at Jeeps. Test drove a new Rubicon the other day and it's like a Caddy compared to the old Jeeps I've driven! But, I'd need to start a "Go fund me" account to pay for it (LOL)! |

deerfoot: "I always liked Yakima stuff and have used it exclusively for decades. It is well designed and well made but very pricey. So I always buy it during the several annual 20% off sales. Also, check craigslist for what you need, however many people appear to over price it. I have always been able to sell my used Yakima stuff but only for modest prices." I would have been smarter to have waited, but watching my canoe wobble back and forth worried me so I used some of my accumulated reward points with a particular store and paid for a bunch of it. Probably still over-paid, but I'll put it to use here soon. |

WonderMonkey: "MrFeesh: "This is the option we went with, made by Yakima for the round bar, and 50 bucks cheaper; just throwing out another option for folks. WM are you clamping to round tubing or flat tubes, what diameter? |
