Anyone got a good source for some small black zip ties? Everywhere I look round here just sells massive clear ones

    How small ? because 100mm might be a bit too small for attaching stuff to your bike

    I want them to hold the brake hoses onto the frame through the little hoop things so I think 100mm should be ok?

    Cheers for the links btw

    I got a tub of 500, 100mm long zip ties in 5 colours (one of which was black) from Poundland.

    They are ideal for hose clamps and tidying up wiring from a computer and sound system.

    Screwfix are much cheaper than B&Q etc. They sell all the sizes in both black and clear/white. Many cities now have Screwfix trade counters (work like Argos in that you order by catalogue number then collect a few minutes later) which saves you the delivery charge.

    I got mine from Aldi and i know that pound land sold them and my brother can get them left over from work...

    DIY shops generally and any online shop just be wary of nasty p+p charges

    Why are MTB economics; spend twice as much as you intended, but only half as much as you wish you could afford? :roll:
