      Maybe aerocap is convenient, but it's quite heavy and fuck wheel balance.

      Hi Joe - not that I’ve not wicked at all, no - not like some of the other crazy stuff I’ve tried!! It ‘sticks’ to it rather than ‘grips’ to it - if that makes any sense?

      I’ll do a quick one as soon as I can - it’s pretty simple stuff! Electrical tape is also great though as well as Velcro and gaffa tape...! It’s all about improvising, eh..!

    I'm an electrician, and have cut thousands of zip ties. There is a proper tool called flush cutters or "flushies" for trimming the tails. My "flushies" are the best fingernail trimmers I have ever used.
