Best way to pull Adamo nose together?

I searched and couldn’t find much even though I know this has been discussed. Besides zip ties are there any other tools/methods that can be used to clamp the nose together. I was thinking some metal type of zip tie than uses a screwdriving to tighten the grip? I thought I had seen something like this before.

Not sure of the name of it, but you can find that in the plumbing section at Lowes/home depot/ace hardware. It’s a metal band/loop, with a screw ratchet dealybob on it.

You’re talking about a hose clamp.

Any hardware or automotive parts store ought to have them.

Exactly. That is where I was going to head after work. I just wish I had a technical name for it.

Even better, thank you to both of you.

having been through this myself
you may just need to sit farther forward on it, instead of pulling the nose together

Even better, thank you to both of you.

Yeah, I love mine. This is mod for my GF’s Adamo. This saddle has relieved most of the problems but it is just slightly too wide. I am hoping this will fix all of the problems.

Zip ties work just fine for me. Are you having an issue with them?
