If in doubt, go red cos that'll make the bike faster. All red things do.

White ziptie with a bit of black marker pen

White hose maybe with clear cable tie.

Red will clash with my pink hubs/headset.
White hose will ruin the rest of the aesthetics
Dunno how I sleep at night i really don't

Black... Because if you go with white and it looks stupid, it's obvious you've made an effort and failed. Whereas if you go with black and it looks stupid, at least it just looks like you grabbed a random cable tie.

Cola-flavoured hubba bubba...chewed 20 times (no more, no less) and use that to stick hose to fork...
Anything else is just stupid!

best just take the brake off I think, not worth the risk of getting it wrong....

Forget the cable tie Deirdre and use a hair bobble

Take it off, it'll be faster still. Promise.

Answer is obvious. White zip tie around the fork leg. Black zip tie around the hose. Join the two with a clear zip tie.

Surely you should be chosing your zip-ties to match your Oakleys?

What difference does it make? Will anyone other than you ever see this bike?

Choose any colour, go ride your bike, get it proper muddy then no issue.

Both, one into the other like inverted lovers.

FFS Houns.
Just get a custom spray job on the fork to match you cheap standard issue black porper hoses.

Get some of these:

And stop whining.
They do actually work very well. I have them on the Nixons on my Hooligan Inbred. Much better than a ziptie.
Oh, and Chain Reaction have them for £5.99. One point, the little tool for hooking the O-ring over the guide has fairly sharp edges and can slice the O-ring. I used a needle file and fine wet+dry to smooth it and the went on a treat. They look very professional, much tidier than zipties. I had to get bigger O-rings from B&Q because of the slider diameter.Posted 8 months ago # -
Harsh, druidh. Harsh, but fair.
Hound - what forks and where does the hose attach? Pics required me-thinks.

you need to have the white one round the fork leg and a black one round the hose, looping the two together in a figure of 8

MTFU & stick a normal black zip tie on you fork & get out there & ride the bike.
If you were a rider, this problem would be irrelevant, as the bike should be covered in sh1te most of the time anyway.... Posted 8 months ago # -
Pauper hoses?!! I'll have you know they are Goodridge
I feel that some of you aren't taking my issue seriously
Pink Zip ties?!!!!! Awe. Some!!

Whatever you choose it will be wrong. Your entire focus when riding will be on whether you made the right choice. There will be no correct choice. You'll crash whilst staring at the selected solution. People will not notice but you will think they do. Any trail cafe laughter will be perceived to be about your zip-tie.

OK, so here are the choices I have to hand at the moment:
Clear/White
Blue
Yellow
Red
Black (With one of the twins in the background)
Here's the other twin playing with his new toy
Now seeing as I don't have any hair bobbles or pink zip ties at the moment I am going to have to go for one of the above.
Which one will give me the most pose value for trail centre car parks? (Cutting a cats tail off and using that isn't an option) Posted 8 months ago # -
That's never red, that's pink! And it goes with the hubs, pink is the way to go.
Here are some ugly overpriced sunnies to go with it:

Nice Oakleys, (they look red in real life)
Anyway, already got some pink Oakleys
Posted 8 months ago # -
There you go then, the decision is made. Pink zipties, pink hubs, pink Oakleys.
