Recommend me short ratchet straps for a bike carrier?

So many straps to choose from, none of them quite look like what I'm after.

Anyone successfully purchased short tie down/ratchet straps, to add extra security to a roof-mounted bike carrier?

All suggestions and links greatly appreciated.

Fasty straps from Roofbox are decent, 50cm shortest length.

Ratchet strap will be overkill, just use a cam locking strap like the fastys mentioned above. Buy any old length, test fit and then cut to length with a hot knife or soldering iron. Cut at an angle to make threading through the cam buckle easier.

We've been using Fasty straps for years for the same purpose for bike racks on cars and the campervan - ideal for what you need

Sea to Summit do small tie-downs straps too - they're also very good

Brilliant, Fasty straps look ideal.

I knew you guys would see me right.
