Alternative to zip ties for holding hoses

[mangid]

Having just gone to the dark side and got a bike with hydraulic disc brakes, are there better alternatives to zip ties for holding the cables ? I'm fed up with scratching my hand on them when I clean the bike.

I've trimmed them down flush with a Stanley knife, sanded them with wet&dry to make sure their as smooth as, and still they annoy.

There is a dedicated clip for the job, hang on while I try to find one......

Assuming the tubes could take it, you could use Rivnuts to make a few bosses and clamp the hoses to them.

Or how about some diy internal routing?

You can also get anodised aluminium ones in various colours but I don't expect they will be very good as they would need to be springy like plastic to clip on without rattling terribly.

Thx ! I knew there had to be something better and dedicated to the job.

If you've got some threaded bosses you could get some clips like these:



Bought these from Evans, they're a spare for their Pinnacle bikes but no longer listed on their site.
