Jubilee clips

[Gughanath]

I am going to attach a bike alarm to the bike using a jubilee clips. Is this a good idea? Are the adjustable around the frame? Does anyone have any other alternative suggestions? If the jubille clips are a good idea, are they available in plastic coated form?

I used to have a bike alarm which was attached using jubilee clips. Did the job just fine, but you could put a strip of rubber (from an inner tube?) underneath if you're worried about your paint. When you've fitted it, you might want to consider filing the screwhead down to make it much more difficult to remove. Not sure about plastic coated jubilees.
