what glue/adhesive can I use on bike swingarm?
« on: July 14, 2013, 14:23:04 »
Need to secure the oil tube going down the swingarm. Have a couple of plastic clips/mounts that are were used before and I want to reuse them. they are robust unlike other smaller clips.

basically I want to know what kind of glue/adhesive I can use on the frame of the bike without wrecking the paint?

I would'nt bother just use cable ties( I have on my Scottoiler) that blend in to the swinging arm colour, they are secure but easily replaceable

I got some EvoStick double-sided sticky tape that says you can use it to stick car numberplates on (used for something in the house) - that might be suitable? Expensive though...
