Hello, all! I'm getting ready to receive my new Clem from the bike mechanic and trying to think through storage solutions in the garage. I searched the group and found this thread which has shown me something that I didn't know was possible but looks like the perfect solution for me so I wanted to see if anyone had purchased the Tie Boss and could provide any feedback on its utility. Many thanks in advance!
