For the longest time I've eschewed the use of zip ties on my bikes.
To moi, for the longest time, they just seemed wrong for beautiful
Rivendell bicycles.
Boy was I wrong.
I'd been procrastinating about installing mudflaps on the Saluki.
Couldn't get around to
chasing down the appropriate hardware.
Motivated by the rain, I tempted fate and used black zip ties.
Arguably the zip ties may even look as good (or better?) than machine
screws, nut, and washers.
If someone had just invented zip ties they'd be regarded as some
fantastic technical innovation.
Light, adaptable, easy to use - a fastener for the modern age!
Slick, easy. Once again Riv's got it right.
Finding myself on the slippery slope, I even used them to fashion a
blinky light bracket.
I'll have to post pictures.
