Rebel Bungee Gear

G'day
Help again!
On my Rebel I am using the bungee gear, but have used 12 #9044 rings instead of the factory single bungee rubber. ( I could not get that single rubber tight enough!)
Now my question is, just how much movement should I expect the gear to have? The gear as it is, with the 12 rubbers is rock hard, and I would like to soften it up a bit. It does not appear to move at all and gives a most uncomfortable ride.
What sort of movement should I expect the gear to have?
How would I measure it?
How much is enough or too much?
I am keen to get the Rebel nicely sorted out so I can go flying. This year I flew on the longest day, and as the shortest day is approaching I want to fly then also. However the weather has not been too good. Wind and rain and temps around +15C. We are freezing!
Thanks and regards
