Aleph's Zippitydoodah Zip Tie Badge Request
on: August 28, 2017, 08:28:08 AM
Three things here are not like others...

The red reflectors and the rear fender are held in place by zip ties, unfortunately you can't really see the ones holding the reflectors, but the ones on the fender are visible ( :facepalm: ):


So, powers that be, what say you?


Ride safe, ride smart, have fun!

:cheers:

There's some pics on the Cycling Thread and on my Random Thread as well, just for the reflectors, but they show most of the bike :)

I also have to do a shout out for quality zip ties..

Not only once, but twice I broke the zip ties holding the rear fender just by bumping into it with my knee, soo...

I said smurf this and went for some Hellermann Tyton zip ties, they are little more expensive, but have
held ever since without any problems :tu:

The packaging says they are made of PA66 which is a type of Nylon, I suspect the cheap ones were just cheap plastic  :cheers:

Yes, it is almost impressive how badly they can mess up when making cheap zip-ties. I bought one of those big sets of cheap ones and broke four or five when I was attaching a power strip to my bedpost.
