| 1330946 | 2013-03-02 05:45:00 | Greetings all, I want to transfer my current bike speedometer to another bicycle. The problem that I am facing is that I need to find a replacement wire (as I had to cut off the wire from the old bike in order to release the bike computer) to hold down the speedometer and I have got no idea what the wire is called (if there is a special name to it). I have attached two images depicting the wire that I am aftering. 48224823 |

| 1330948 | 2013-03-02 06:09:00 | Looks like a snipped cable tie. Be a stink wire as plastic isn't too conductive. | prefect (6291) | ||

Typically for the acme sweatmobiles, it ties a cable onto the frame parts to stop it getting caught up and severed by arms, legs, passing hedges, wheels etc. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 1330953 | 2013-03-02 10:31:00 | BTW if you cut it at the other end you can reuse them if they still reach around whatever you are attempting to attach to - unlikely but thought I'd mention it :) | dugimodo (138) | ||
