That's a lot of extra work for the same effect....you only need so much "extra strength".

Zip ties are not a joke at all and work very well....holding the spokes in place just as well as your uber retentive wire job does.

It is a good tutorial if you have all day to do something like that.

I also like the added efficiency of being able to cut the zip ties off in 1 second rather than make a nest of a mess removing all that expensive wire/time if you need to.
