Thanks, everyone, for the great suggestions. Now to pick one of these
solutions... I do like the green Rescue tape.

Cal, I think you're referring to speed shimmy, something I haven't
really experienced. Lots written on this topic, such as this classic:
http://www.sheldonbrown.com/brandt/shimmy.html  Lots more in
discussion group archives. All I can say is is play around with the
loads you're carrying (by shifting some weight to the back or front).
Good luck!

Oliver

Oliver:  I have the Sackville Shopsack in the Wald.  I really like it
and I don't have the rattle issue.  I did get a wobble in the front
tire when I reach 27.2 miles per hour.  Do you ever get a wobble in
your front tire?  Cal M.

You could also get some heat shrink tubing and put that on the hooks.
But I feel like that might be needlessly labor intensive. Just might
look a little nicer than some other options.
