English term or phrase: zipties
Again the same as the previous question. Somehow today is not my day. What are
grooves in connection with bicycles and what are zipties?

Again it's only a bullet point

·Grooves for wires or zipties

Thank you,

Explanation:
The following reference may be of some help:
Many newer bicycles do not come with eyelets for racks, fenders, etc. This should not discourage anyone from mounting fenders on their bike. Using zipties to mount fenders is very secure, and in many instances, probably more secure than other fasteners that can become loose.
Zipties also have the advantage of allowing quick removal and installation of the fenders, without having to remove and then re-center the brakes.
Below are some methods I have used to install fenders with zipties. There are other methods, just use your imagination.
www.mindspring.com/~d.g1/ziptie.htm

Zipties are plastic fasteners, length is pre-cut, and they have a little eyelet through which the other end can be looped. The eyelet has little ratchets on the inside, so the looped end can't slide back out.

The following reference (which describes how to fix a bicycle) translates zipties as "Kabelbinder":

Groove - Rille, Furche, Nut, Rinne - just a small indentation into which the ziptie can fit.

Kabelhalteband


Explanation:
Kabelhalteband is used by WESTFALIA mail order. Is most often used to pull cables together into a neat bunch of cables, but they are also used for tying flowers or trees to a psot.
Fastening small gadjets to a bike is definitely also an area of use.
