Having just fitted a rear hub kit it was obvious that a ‘normal’ cable tie would not allow the removal of the rear wheel if one is placed either side of the cable connector on the chain stay.
The solution is simple fit releasable cable ties.
Narrow nylon ties are available but usually in large amounts and could pinch the cable.
However Toolstation sell wide banded hook and loop (Velcro type) ties at 150mm (£1.51 for 10) or 300mm (£1.90 for 10).
Both are available in white or black and can be cut shorter.
I opted for the 150mm and cut about 15mm off, one fitted either side of the julet connector and all is secure out of the way of the chain and can easily be removed to allow the back wheel to be taken off the bike.......punctures are bound to happen.
