[F500] Tire Straps - From Who?

[Jeff Blumenthal]

Chris:
 I don't strap the wheels. I use "pull-type" or "ratchet-type" (your
preference) straps. Using axle straps on the frame, I attach one end of the
strap to the axle strap and the other to a D-ring bolted to the floor.
Simple, cheap, and it's worked well for several seasons.
