My ace Pendle rack comes with the nifty little straps that you can open one handed and are very fast to use.
Except mine have been misappropriated and I need 8 more straps.
I have emailed Pendle but given how expensive they are in general I am expecting an eye watering reply.
Dos anyone have a source of small straps that are super cheap for a tight arse?
cycle toe clip straps. Available in pairs from Halfords or Decathlon very cheaply and probably your lbs too.

Good call they are very similar.

I had the same issue, bought a 2nd hand Pendle rack with no straps. I also asked on here, was pointed toward this place:

I'm a weapons grade tight arse so baulked at not buying something 'similar that would probably work' but they've been brilliant. Also used for tying ladders to roof racks, mending gazebos and all sorts. UK made, very tough.
Toes straps from LBS 6 for a tenner. Happy days.
You can also buy long luggage straps off ebay etc. a lot cheaper...and then cut them and re-melt the end
I got 6 for a tenner I think.... (can't remember but they were a LOT cheaper than the short ones)
Any idea how long the Decathlon ones are? Could they be the answer to my "Fatbike on an old Thule rack" problem?

I use the 50cm blue ones, on my Thule rack
AAAAnnnnnd Pendle got back to me 8.50 for 6 straps plus 1.24 postage. I retract my rude comments about overpriced bike rack manufacturers. That's not too shabby.
