Cateye Strada spare straps in London?

[MartinDB]

I have just installed a Cateye Strada computer on my bike. I was somewhat surprised that the fitting depends to a considerable extent on the 'nylon ties', which looks like it might be a touch flimsy. I am about to go on a holiday and do a lot of cycling and would like to get some spare ties in case they break. Does anyone know if there are places in London where I can get these? Alternatively, what could I use instead of the specific Cateye ties if any of them break?

Many thanks.

I need as well, the sensor having shifted while the bike was in the car boot and I then rather stupidly pulled it tight while the sensor was in the wrong place on the fork. Are you just referring to the cable ties? If so, you can get them from Maplins easily enough, I don't think they are Cateye specific

You need nice long ones that are 2.5 mm wide. Here is where you get them.....

Thanks for replies and help. I picked some up at Maplins (good idea!) and they seem long enough for me. The ebay link is very helpful for the future though. I should also say that staff in my local Evans were also helpful and gave me a few that were lying around for free.
