I dunno if he can keep the cost under the required $50.00, after all zip ties are not free, gotta replace the bastages ever once in a while, but it might be worthy of a mention in the under $50 thread

I have been caught up in the save a buck now and get kicked in the marbles later. I have learned not to do it with or for my bikes now.
This took several $$$$$ to learn but eventually I figured it out.
