I have 2 bath towels, and 2 hand and face cloths on it with no strain on he fixture at all. Got a few scrapes from trying to put this together as well. The elastic underneath is really stretchy and allows for a good fit to any standard spin bike. Most comfortable flip flops Ive owned ! Sound and ease of wearing is wonderful. Some manufacturers agree. Freed up a lot of shelf space. 5 so the product was not fit for purpose. That is my absolute standard when it comes to fit and feel. :0( :0(
