New Whip? New toys for the dependable steed?

Just loop a small zip tie through some a .25" chunk of tubing.
They're called Cable Buddies and my buddy Miles sells them through Miles Wide Industries.
Universal Cycles has them in stock and probably the other distribution places also.
Doesn't everyone have a bucket of cut used zip ties for using again?
look man I just started cleaning out my garage getting rid of mountainbike shit I haven't touched in 10 years (to make room for dirtbike parts I won't touch for 10 years) and the number of those fucking things I've tried to use that end up being 1-2mm too short caused a mantrum of rage that the entire neighborhood could hear. If I had neighbors and not empty airbnbs.
Much like the grip shifters and woodgrain sram deraileurs I just threw away, I will hand down cable buddies to my grandchildren that do not exist.
Last time I was in the used bike part shop they were selling those for a pretty penny. I left them in the case and walked out with a pair of Jill Kintners old flat pedals for my bar bike for $10.

No I'm annoyed at the wastefulness of zip ties
they make reusable ones
Like the 5 cable buddies I just bought for 6 bucks?
Do those reuseable ones work in your superior about everything country? The ones here are about 50/50 at best.
technically every zip tie is reusable

Just buy some heat shrink cable sleeve, take your time and roll like the Cool Kidz™ do.
i still just use a bit of the little plastic coil wrap that came with the center console cd player mounting kit i got in the mid-90s 
has been transferred to countless bikes.

Your shitty continental tires, and those shitty carbon bikes you ride and sell

Couldn't find the old parts for the new bike thread-
Edit-Still have Shimano brakes on it, damn thing came with some sort of matchmaker. Looks like an abortion of a system.

Yep, I'll keep the wheel ones until they turn sideways and shatter when they hit the stays or fork.

New Pegs. Replacements for Replacements of Point1 Podium pedals - what were theeeee best flats eva.
Deity Bladerunners, after two sets + 5 years of XPedo Mags. Plenty of traction. 2pm rains came on right at 11:15am, they have a hold in the wet also. Good profile, tested on rock strikes, I'm still just that smooth on a bike...

I think that's all I want to spend on the Norco, it reminded me why I don't buy complete bikes, coz I can't save long enough to get one with decent parts.

To be fair it does mean that if you get a flash of colour while riding at Mach Silly you get some warning to brace for impact
