One of the things I have always appreicated about Timbuk2 customers is their commitment to modify our bags, hack them, make them better for whatever they need.
Andy ‘Papa’ (short for some crazy long Greek name) works in Nascar for Hedrick Motorsports
and well his bag was just not fast enough… he did a simple but really smart mod on a commute to make the velcro silent and fast… Andy placed extra pieces of velcro tape over the velcro on the Commute flap - simple and gets it done.

I posted that idea 3 months ago on the Timbuk2 forums

I did that on a small messenger I have because the velcro was so loud. I know I missed the deadline for the contest but wanted to post my flickr to my bag because it’s the oldest one I’ve seen posted.
