Message: <blockquote data-quote="aix123" data-source="post: 3399370" data-attributes="member: 137604">The things I am worried about if I do buy these bins and use this strap are first, the idea of the ends of the cords whipping about in the wind, or just being annoying and getting in the way a bit - although I see there is a slider on each side, which hopefully don't ride up too much and do keep the ends under control. Also, with the cord being obviously thinner than a normal strap, doesn't this make them slightly less stable? Don't they swing a bit more, because a wide strap being wider will surely stop more of the swinging effect? Also, it seems a pretty thin cord, just looks a bit odd on first impression.Also, the bins are actually slightly less sleek with the new style attachments, they stick out further than a normal lug/attachement point.As you can see, I'm a hard person to satisfy and am inherently conservative!I think I have my current bins fairly low down on my chest, so to then put them into the messenger bag position doesn't cause me any inconvenience as the strap is normally already set at the right length for that too.</blockquote>
