    Mad idea to use strong PVA glue to attached the wires of a wired cadence and bike computer to my winter road bike. It’s a ribble carbon with a laquered top coat..thus avoiding the need to use zipties

    thoughts?

    I’m sure it will work very will if you never go out in the rain or wash your bike.

    Put some ‘copter tape on where you want the cable then sandwich the cable between that and some more tape maybe? Not sure how durable the PVA would be.

    As above, try amalgamating tape, one wrap on frame then another one or two over the cable.

    PVA is no good for this job.

    The pva won’t dry fast enough, you’ll end up taping it while it drys.
    Super glue? will be ok on your frame. but i doubt the cable would come off intact

    Bonkers. PVA is best on absorbent substrates where it can dry out fastish.

    Silicon. Clear, white, black. Bit of flexibility. Will peel off whenever you like.

    Use exterior PVA. Rain proof and strong. Small spots of it might look OK but as above I’d use clear silicone sealant.

    Stick a circle of helitape on and then use a blob of hot glue to secure the wire to the helitape. Glue will be easily removed from the wire should you need to.

    Use zip ties.
