hey just another pointer for ya is (cant tell by the pics if you have already done it) take a drill bit and at the end of the crack drill a hole..usually helps prevent the crack from spreading

I weld my plastic. It's just as ugly as the zip ties, but it seems to hold together a bit better.

I've had to use zip ties as a belt and i found the best wat is to put it around 2 belt loops and tighten as nessesary (still can take a poop if nessesary, and you use less zipties):D

back before i had my own riding gear, i had to wear a friends and they were too big so i zip tied them together. And sometimes when i forget my belt for my jeans after the race i zip tie them too.

i zip tie holes in my pants shut with zip ties like on your knees. really helpes if you weld alot. ill probably use the belt idea

cant complain .10 and you got new pants. who knows by next year it will be the new thing instead of buying pants with hole in them the holes will be pre patched with zip ties. people will be using them for bracelets

ur 300 looks like frankenstine lol. but ive used zipties for my pants before when i popped a button. ones holdin my right fender down so it dont fly around all crazy when im ridin cus i broke part of it on a dit track. the ex wasnt even mine yet when i did it :D . but ive got to put one on to hold my right nerf bar to the peg it fell off while i was ridin the other day. ive got some of the like 3ft long ones down in the garage theyd make a good belt if i ever needed to.

LMAO!!! What's funny is I have had a few pairs of jeans for a few years, and they have holes and are worn in a buncha places, looks like they are designer but they are just worn:p Zip ties are awesome, especially when trying to combine wiring and clean things up.
