ZIP TIES

 Zip ties are fantastic devices, we just snip them off and throw them usually but we ought to use them a bit more carefully and imaginatively, I have been stuck in the middle of nowhere and been saved by these little wonders with a little invention.

In the pictures on the right are shown a couple of long zip ties fastened around the base of the head tube with a couple of short ties looped through the main tie to hold the cables in place. This keeps them in the same place and stops them from rubbing the paint off the frame.

This one shows the small ties either side holding the cables in place.











This Picture shows how a couple of ties through each other can create a loop for a cable guide to stop the remote cable on a dropper seat post from going sideways and getting in the way.
