Agreed, those look really trick. I'd love to move away from single-use plastic zip ties, especially given that I tend to use them for short-term repairs just to get out of the woods. I'm seeing them at $8.24 for 4 as a US customer. I'll order them in the morning.
Something I just heard is that bits of Orange sealant can be (re)used as a tire plug. An Ontario wheelbuilder shared that with me - said that he saves what he pulls out of tires when it's time for fresh sealant, and uses it for trailside repairs later on. Haven't tried it yet myself as I have been using Stan's (which as we all know just generates weird goblins) but next sealant purchase will be Orange to try this out.
