reusable? Never heard of such a thing, can you post a link? Those would be GREAT for my stupid cadence sensor, among other things...

On centuries or long trail rides, we zip tie a spare tire to the seat post or frame. They are also great for attaching race numbers or maps to the handlebars. Of course, I'm married to a mechanic so we have HUNDREDS (in different lengths and colors)! With a few zip ties and a pocket knife, he could build you a new bike on the side of the trail.

If it's a temporary installation, ust don't cinch them down to tight or they are hard to cut off.

Good Job!

I always carry a few zip ties with me, and I keep a 12" Velcro tie strap wrapped around the downtube for emergencies. Used it to hold a loose cable housing and kept it from rubbing on the front tire every time the fork compressed. When I got home, I re-routed the cable and used a zip tie, but being able to quick-fix on the trail before it damaged the housing was great.

Thinking ahead will keep you going on two wheels instead of walking home.

I like that velcro wrap idea! Must add a piece of that to all of the bikes.

I love them too, and since they started coming in colors I love them even more!
