Been Around the Block
The following is proof that I'm no mechanical genius...
I'm wrapping the exhaust on my bike and have these snazzy stainless steel ties. They seem much more sleek than hose clamps for permanently holding the wrap, except that I can't seem to figure out how to get them to tighten down securely enough. What am I missing? They don't seem any more complicated than a nylon zip tie, but I just can't get them to snug down. What's the trick?
