I'd rather not split-up
Actually it's been in use for awhile and the "looseness" was never an issue especially on the road... never noticed. Dirt roads fine too.
I was in Arkansas last month and on some off-road unmaintained paths. The looseness was an issue with my wife. When it "banged" she was worried
So she let me buy the roll and lock. I assume it will help a lot when she is with me!
