Hi, I have an atera linea on my van  https://www.atera.de/en/atera-linea-bicycle-rear-carrier.html

and my misses has just bought herself a hard tail with plus size tyres and the bloody plastic ratchet strap isnt long enough to fit the increased size of the tyre/rim combo.

I need to buy the toothed belt bit like in is image  https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=bike+rack+ratchet+belt&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjGhPLK3IHeAhVKCMAKHcCJCpYQ_AUIDygC&biw=1276&bih=656#imgrc=04bdSdIL-k4niM:  but I don't know what the hell to search for or what they may be called.

The ones on my rack are rivited in so I'll just drill them out and nut and bolt in a longer one assuming I can find one of the right width (or cut it down maybe)

Any clues as to what to search for - I don't want to ask atera as their current spares list only includes the full plastic wheel chock assembly including the trap bit at £30 each!

Cheers

Just use any strap. No need to buy something specific.
