The ones that clip the hose to the frame.
I'm searching on Wiggle and CRC but can't find them.
Has anyone got a link or know the correct name to search for ?

...but to quote myself from the link below:

Jamie:

Cable Ties.

You know it makes sense.

Ooh, I like those coloured ones. It's for my new frame though with Rohloff cable guides, 15 in total. That would be £30 at £10 for 6.

I want to be able to easily swap from Rohloff to SS, that's why I wanted reusable clips rather than cable ties.

so use cable ties, and pliers. *big* bag for not much ££, so replace them!
