Howdy all,

I am looking for suggestions for alternatives to zip ties to secure cables and wires. What have you folks used?

Thanks,
J

Duct tape!! just kidding but it depends on your end goal. Duct tape could be the answer depending but I have a feeling your going for a cleaner look right?

Smart Band Nylon Cable Lashing Ties may be more what your looking for.

For the handle bars I got some NOS probably no longer made chromed steel clips that snap around the bars, for the rest, I'm in trouble.

Yes, I want something that isn't plastic or looks cheap. I want my bike to look like it could have been built in the forties or fifties.

Thanks
