Has anyone used these before ?

I assume they adhere to the frame but does the zip tie go round the frame also or just round the cable ?

Trying to route a light cable from my bars to my seatpost in a tidy manor without it rubbing on the frame.

    Zip tie goes round the frame by the looks of it.

    nope , the zip-tie secures the cable only , the mount just sticks onto the frame with a double-sided adhesive pad.

    question is, is the double sided adhesive pad any good ? will it last ?

    depends where you put them and how you prep the job.
    clean frame with white spirit to remove grease , then warm up the sticky pads on a radiator for 10-15 mins , the glue will stick stronger then.
    worst place is underside of downtube as its constantly getting splashed.
    but as they're only a quid a pack just replace as needed.

    Get some velcro ties, it's what I used to use before I got myself some Exposure lights with integrated batteries :)

    Get 'em from a hardware store like Maplin - won't leave marks on your paintwork.
