I just bought a roll of this stuff called "Rescue Tape". It's a silicone elastick-y thing about an inch wide in a number of colors. I got it to dress the ends of some computer cabling snakes, but after using it for that, it seems like there would be a myriad of other applicatons. It can be used like heat-shrink tubing, without the heat. Basically, you wind it around itself and it binds to itself after a few minutes. You can put it under significant pressure when you wrap. It's supposed to be water/chemical/etc proof once it binds. You cannot unwrap it once fused - you've got to cut it off. It doesn't bind to the suface it's wrapped around. Anyway, you might look for some (~$10 per roll). It won't leave adhesive residue like duct or electrical tape, but with a few turns, it will definitely silence a rattle. hope that helps, - Jim -- Jim Edgar [email protected] Cyclofiend Bicycle Photo Galleries - http://www.cyclofiend.com Current Classics - Cross Bikes Singlespeed - Working Bikes Gallery updates now appear here - http://cyclofiend.blogspot.com "'You both ride your bike?'

Re: [RBW] quieting the Shopsack
I bought some of the smallest rubber vacuum hose from the auto parts store, cut a couple of approx 3" long pieces, slit them lengthwise through one wall, then slipped them over the wire of the Wald. Voilla; quiet hooks. cheers, Andrew On Jul 25, 2010, at 21:35, "Oliver S." wrote: The medium Sackville Shopsack in the Wald basket has been wonderful.

[RBW] quieting the Shopsack
The medium Sackville Shopsack in the Wald basket has been wonderful. Keeps things dry, easy to detach and bring into the store, nice looking, easy to open and close, canvas feels nice, etc. But sometimes the rattle from the "dog leash" hooks bothers me. I was wondering if anyone was using any clever methods to reduce the rattle. Figuring that some old tubes or cloth tape would work. Any other ideas?
